Many systems exhibit rule-based behavior that can be modeled very well by means of graph transformation. In this thesis, a new graph transformation theory is introduced for rules describing not only positive pre- and post-conditions, but also so-called negative application conditions. Present analysis techniques are extended for this more expressive kind of graph transformation. Moreover, new kinds of analysis techniques are introduced and present techniques are improved. The main part of the newly developed theory is formulated in the more abstract adhesive high-level-transformation...

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2023, which was held during April 22-27, 2023, in Paris, France, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2023. The 12 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The proceedings also contain 2 tool papers, 2 NIER papers, and 2 competition papers from the Test-Comp Competition. The papers deal with the foundations on which software engineering is...
