Abstract
PORGY: a strategy-driven interactive
environment for graph visualisation
Maribel
Fernandez Kings College, University of
London
Abstract
PORGY is an interactive, visual environment for graph
transformations
based on
graph-rewriting rules controlled by strategies. It has
been
used to
model interaction networks and biochemical pathways whose
states
are
represented by port
graphs and evolutions are driven by rules and
strategies. The visualisation features provide the user with
useful
insights
on possible behaviours of the model and its properties. In
this
talk we will describe PORGY's strategy language, which is used
to
control
the rewriting engine and the generation of execution
traces,
and give
examples of graph-based programs in this language.
The
design and implementation of PORGY is currently under way, as
part
of the
PORGY project (INRIA Bordeaux Sud-Ouest and King's
College
London:
Oana Andrei, Maribel Fernandez, Helene Kirchner, Guy
Melancon,
Olivier
Namet, Bruno Pinaud).

Bio
Maribel
Fernandez is a Reader in Computer Science at King's
College
London. She
completed a PhD in 1993 (University of Paris-Sud), and
obtained
an Habilitation (Higher Doctorate) from University
of
Paris-Sud and Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS Paris) in
2000.
Her
research focuses on rewrite-based multiparadigm computation
models
and
associated programming languages, and the development of tools
for
the
specification, analysis and verification of complex systems, such
as
biochemical systems, telecommunications or software
applications.
Recently, she has also applied rewriting
techniques
to the
formalisation of access control models and policies.
