Scope and Aim
GraBaTs 2006 is seeking for papers reporting on tools that store, retrieve, manipulate and display graphs. It is the purpose of this workshop to summarize the state of the art of graph-based tool development, bring together developers of graph-based tools in different application fields and to encourage new tool development co-operations.
Topics relevant to the scope of the workshop include (but are not restricted to) the following
- Tools for Model-driven systems development
- Meta CASE tools or generators
- Tools for Visual languages: UML, Domain-specific languages, etc.
- Model transformation tools
- Animation and simulation tools
- Analysis tools (incl. verification & validation, static analysis techniques, testing)
- Tool integration techniques
- Efficient algorithms (e.g. pattern matching, manipulation of large graph models)
- Case studies, empirical and experimental results on tool scalability
- Novel application areas
Research papers with well-founded results and position papers presenting novel ideas are both welcome in these topics.
Furthermore, this year's workshop will have a special focus on tool presentations organized as a separate session on the first day of the workshop. Thus authors are also encouraged to submit tool papers which report on new features of existing tools or completely novel tools having graph-based foundations. The presentations of tools papers should contain a mandatory live demonstration part during the workshop.
