Abstract

<p>GT&#8211;VMT 2009 is the eighth workshop of a series that serves as a forum for all researchers and practitioners interested in the use of graph&#8211;based notation, techniques and tools for the specification, modeling, validation, manipulation and verification of complex systems&#046; The aim of the workshop is to promote engineering approaches that provide effective sound tool support for visual modeling languages, enhancing formal reasoning at the semantic level (e&#046;g&#046;, for model analysis, transformation, and consistency management) in different domains, such as UML, Petri nets, Graph Transformation or Business Process/Workflow Models&#046;</p> <p>This year&#8242;s workshop will have a special focus on visualisation, simulation, and verification of domain&#8211;specific languages (DSLs) to improve the automation and quality in model&#8211;driven and/or service&#8211;oriented processes&#046;</p> <p>As a summary, topics relevant to the scope of the workshop include (but not restricted to) the following:</p> <ul><li>formal definition of visual DSLs (incl&#046; meta&#8211;modeling, grammars, graphical parsing, etc&#046;);</li><li>static semantics of visual DSLs (incl&#046; OCL, graph patterns, etc&#046;);</li><li>dynamic semantics of visual DSLs (incl&#046; simulation, compilation, etc&#046;);</li><li>model transformations (within and) between DSLs and their application in model&#8211;driven development;</li><li>visual DSL analysis (incl&#046; verification &amp; validation, static &amp; dynamic analysis techniques);</li><li>model/graph&#8211;based approaches to novel architectural paradigms like service&#8211;oriented, GRID, and P2P computing, context&#8211;aware and adaptive applications, etc&#046;;</li><li>application of graph transformations and visual modeling techniques in engineering, biology, and medicine;</li><li>case studies and novel application areas;</li><li>tool support and efficient algorithms&#046;</li></ul>
