Abstract

Pullback rewriting has recently been introduced as a new and unifying paradigm for vertex rewriting in graphs. In this paper we show how to extend it to describe in a uniform way more rewriting mechanisms such as node and handle rewriting in hypergraphs.

This work has been supported by the Esprit BRA ”Computing with graph transformations”
