Graph and Model Transformation

“The book is a comprehensive mathematical introduction to graph transformation and model transformations. … I must say that the text is written in a clear and well-structured manner; as such, it can be a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any researcher from mathematics or theoretical computer science or those practitioners who develop parallel code for visual modeling.” (Alexander Tzanov, Computing Reviews, computingreviews.com, October, 2016)“The text is very coherent and uses a unified notation throughout. The language is easily understandable and examples and illustrations are generously used in all parts of the book. Any graduate of computer science should, in principle, be able to appreciate the contents of the book … .” (Andreas Maletti, zbMATH 1341.68002, 2016)
