  text: Graph grammars originated in the late 60s, motivated by considerations about
    pattern recognition and compiler construction. Since then, the list of areas which
    have interacted with the development of graph grammars has grown quite impressively.
    Besides the aforementioned areas, it includes software specification and development,
    VLSI layout schemes, database design, modeling of concurrent systems, massively
    parallel computer architectures, logic programming, computer animation, developmental
    biology, music composition, visual languages, and many others. The area of graph
    grammars and graph transformations generalizes formal language theory based on
    strings and the theory of term rewriting based on trees. As a matter of fact,
    within the area of graph grammars, graph transformation is considered as a fundamental
    computation paradigm where computation includes specification, programming, and
    implementation. Over the last three decades, graph grammars have developed at
    a steady pace into a theoretically attractive and important-for-applications research
    field. Volume 2 of the indispensable Handbook of Graph Grammars and Computing
    by Graph Transformations considers applications to functional languages, visual
    and object-oriented languages, software engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical
    process engineering, and images. It also presents implemented specification languages
    and tools, and structuring and modularization concepts for specification languages.
    The contributions have been written in a tutorial/survey style by the top experts
    in the corresponding areas. This volume is accompanied by a CD-Rom containing
    implementations of specification environments based on graph transformation systems,
    and tools whose implementation is based on the use of graph transformation systems.
