16-17 May 2024, Università di Pisa
This workshop is set up as a free-for-all event where we discuss and identify open research questions and new research directions in Graph Transformation.
Setup
Participation is by invitation; we expect between 10 and 15 participants. This means that plenary discussions will be possible, and this might actually be the preferred mode; alternatively, if there is focussed interest on more specialist themes, we can divide into two or three subgroups.
To collect topics for the workshop, a questionnaire has been created here. Depending on the response, more iterations can be organised, with the main aim to consolidate a set of topics in which a large fraction of the participants have declared their interest.
Outcome
The primary outcome of the workshop should be: inspiration for the participants to work on the issues discussed, ideally (but not necessarily) in collaboration. In addition, one can imagine more ambitious goals, including one or more of the following:
- Topics for the GreTA seminar
- Informal presentation at STAF 2024
- Collective white paper
- Initiative for a project proposal
