Module contents
Graphs are practically used in all areas of computer science to display complex structures. Some examples are flow charts, circuit diagrams, record structures, parse trees and functional and logical expressions. Such structures can be dynamically changed by graph rewriting systems. The changing process is represented by rewriting rules. This module gives an introduction to the field of graph transformation systems. It deals with reversibility, embedding and restriction of derivations, sequential and parallel independency, termination and confluence.
