International Conference on Graph Transformation and Satellite Events 2008

第四届国际图变换会议（ICGT 2008）将于2008年9月的第二周在莱斯特举行。它将包括一个博士专题讨论会，并主办四个卫星讲习班和一个介绍性教程。会议由EATCS、EASST和IFIP WG 1.3主办。EATCS和EASST将为最佳理论和应用型论文颁发奖项。论文集将与Springer的计算机科学讲义（LNCS）系列一起出版。这将是ICGT首次在英国举行，为国际知名的研究人员和工业家提供了一个很好的机会。一个工业日将结合联合收割机几个事件（演讲、展览和工具演示）。作为ICGT 2008的组织者，我们向EPSRC寻求资金支持ICGT 2008，提供：* 2个全额资助的名额，供特邀演讲者使用（Wil货车der阿尔斯特和Heiko Doerr）为主要会议提供部分支助，其中包括Tero Harju（芬兰图尔库大学）和Jeremie Chalopin（艾克斯-马赛大学，法国）* 20个资助博士生参加主要会议和博士研讨会的名额 * 20个资助博士生参加讲习班的名额 * 与吸引国际参与者和学生有关的宣传费用除了博士研讨会，关于图变换的介绍性论文，该计划将包括以下卫星研讨会 * GCM：图形计算模型研讨会 * NCGT：自然计算和图形转换 * GraBaTs：图形转换工具竞赛 * PNGT：Petri网和图形转换如果我们的建议，EPSRC是成功的，这将使我们能够邀请高姿态的主题演讲者都为会议和研讨会，从而鼓励更多的参与.我们亦会透过资助名额，吸引更多博士生。我们挑选的讲者的研究简介，既反映ICGT参与者的兴趣，亦能接触其他密切相关的研究团体或行业。主会议的所有讲者均已确认参与。工作坊的特邀讲者将让博士生在更舒适的气氛中与知名研究人员接触，并将普遍提高这些讲习班的知名度。研讨会上的特邀发言将对与会者开放。

The 4th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2008) will be held in Leicester in the second week of September 2008. It will include a doctoral symposium and host four satellite workshops and an introductory tutorial. The conference takes place under the auspices of EATCS, EASST, and IFIP WG 1.3. Awards will be given by EATCS and EASST for the best theoretical and application-oriented papers. Proceedings are to be published with Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. This will be the first time for ICGT to take place in the UK, providing a great opportunity to bring internationally known researchers and industrialists to the Midlands. An Industry Day will combine several events (presentations, exhibitions, and tool demos) particularly relevant for the industry.As organisers of ICGT 2008, we seek funding from the EPSRC tosupport ICGT 2008 by providing: * 2 fully funded places for invited speakers (Wil van der Aalst, and Heiko Doerr) for the main conference * partial support for invited speakers at satellite workshops, among them Tero Harju (University of Turku, Finland) and Jeremie Chalopin (University of Aix-Marseille, France) * 20 subsidised places for PhD students attending the main conference and doctoral symposium * 20 subsidised places for PhD students attending workshops * publicity costs associated with attracting international participants and studentsApart from a Doctoral Symposium, an Introductory Tutorial on Graph Transformation, and an Industry Day the programme will include the following satellite workshops * GCM: Workshop on Graph Computation Models * NCGT: Natural Computing and Graph Transformation * GraBaTs: Graph Transformation Tool Contest * PNGT: Petri Nets and Graph TransformationShould our proposal to EPSRC be successful this would allow us toinvite high-profile keynote speakers both for the conference and the workshops thus encouraging greater participation. We will also attract more PhD students through subsidised places.Research profiles of the invited speakers are chosen to both reflect the interests of ICGT participants and reach out to other closely related research communities or industry.All speakers for the main conference have confirmed their participation.Invited speakers at workshops will allow doctoral students to get into contact with renown researchers in a more cosy atmosphere, and will generally raise the profile of these workshops. Invited presentations at workshops will be open to participants in the conference.
