Graph Transformation

Despite ever increasing computational power, the history of computing is characterized also by a constant battle with complexity. We will briefly review these trends and argue that, due to its focus on abstraction, automation, and analysis, the modeling community is ideally positioned to facilitate the development of future computing systems. More concretely, a few, select, technological and societal trends and developments will be discussed together with the research opportunities they present to researchers interested in modeling.
