*** Aims and Scope ***

The 8th International Workshop on Graph-Based Tools is the continuation
of the GraBaTs series of workshops which provides a forum for researchers
and practitioners interested in the development and application of
graph-based tools. Based on rigorous mathematical concepts, graphs are
at the core of tools and techniques in various application areas and
are used for many practical concerns.

The topics of interests are (but are not limited to):

- Model-driven development tools,
- Meta modeling tools, generators and frameworks,
- Visual language tools (UML, Domain-specific languages, etc.)
- Model transformation and model management tools,
- Formal graph-based modeling tools,
- Visualization, animation and simulation tools,
- Analysis of models, transformations and programs (validation,
   verification, static analysis, quantitative analysis, testing, etc.),
- Tool integration techniques,
- Software engineering and software evolution tools,
- Efficient algorithms for graph models (pattern matching,
   handling of large graph models, graph traversal algorithms, etc.).

In all these areas, tools are developed that retrieve, store, transform
and display graphs. It is the purpose of this workshop to survey the
state of the art of graph-based tools, bring together developers of
graph-based tools in different application fields and to encourage new
tool development cooperations. We solicit papers on the aforementioned
topics, as well as case studies, empirical and experimental results on
tool scalability and uses of graph-based tools on novel application areas.


*** Submissions ***

The proceedings of this workshop will be published in the Electronic
Communications of the EASST. We are soliciting papers (up to 14 pages)
which present original and evaluated research or novel ideas,
identified challenges, and experiences related to the workshop's
theme. Two kinds of papers are solicited to be presented at the
workshop:
