A New Version of GTXL : An Exchange Format for Graph Transformation Systems

نویسنده

  • Leen Lambers
چکیده

GTXL (Graph Transformation Exchange Language) is designed to support and stimulate developers to provide their graph transformation-based tools with an exchange functionality regarding the integration with other tools. For this exchange XML was chosen as underlying technology. The exchange of graphs is facilitated by the exchange format GXL which is also XML-based. GTXL uses GXL to describe the graph parts of a graph transformation system. A first version of GTXL arose from the format discussion within the EU Working Group APPLIGRAPH. Trying to restimulate the discussion on a common exchange format for graph transformation systems, this paper presents a new version of GTXL. Three important changes have been made. At first, an integrated presentation of rules is introduced, secondly the expression of more general conditions is supported and finally the storage of the underlying semantics of a graph transformation system by means of special attributes is proposed.

Towards Common Exchange Formats for Graphs and Graph Transformation Systems

The development of common exchange formats for graphs and graph transformation systems is an ongoing initiative within the EU Working Group APPLIGRAPH (Applications of Graph Transformation). The author is reporting on the current state of this format discussion. The formats are based on the extensible markup language XML developed to interchange documents of arbitrary types. Graphs are basic st...

A Hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach to Cope with State Space Explosion in Model Checking Technique for Deadlock Freeness

Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...

ENTROPY OF DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS ON WEIGHTS OF A GRAPH

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph whose vertices and edges are weighted by two functions. In this paper we shall define and calculate entropy of a dynamical system on weights of the graph $G$, by using the weights of vertices and edges of $G$. We examine the conditions under which entropy of the dynamical system is zero, possitive or $+infty$. At the end it is shown that, for $rin [0,+infty]$, t...

An Overview of the GXL Graph Exchange Language

GXL (Graph eXchange Language) is designed to be a standard exchange format for graph-based tools. GXL is defined as an XML sublanguage, which offers support for exchanging instance graphs together with their appropriate schema information in a uniform format. Formally, GXL is based on typed, attributed, ordered directed graphs, which are extended by concepts to support representing hypergraphs ...

Schema Matching for Document Exchange: A Constraint Based Approach

Information systems’ activities are increasingly becoming distributed. Many systems, therefore, need to exchange documents in order to correctly perform a critical activity. Data stores on the originating and receiving systems rarely have identical structures. As a consequence, document exchange commonly requires that the data be transformed from the originating site, to the document exchange f...
