The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com. abstract: Graphs are suitable modeling formalisms for software and hardware systems involving aspects such as communication, object orientation, concurrency, mobility and distribution. State spaces of such systems can be represented by graph transition systems, which are basically transition systems whose states and transitions represent graphs and graph morphisms. Heuristic search is a successful Artificial Intelligence technique for solving exploration problems implicitly present in games, planning, and formal verification. Heuristic search exploits information about the problem being solved to guide the exploration process. The main benefits are significant reductions in the search effort and the size of solutions. We propose the application of heuristic search for the analysis of graph transition systems. We define algorithms and heuristics and present experimental results. date: 2006 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume: 4178 publisher: Springer pagerange: 414-429 id_number: 10.1007/11841883_29 refereed: TRUE isbn: 3-540-38870-2 book_title: Graph Transformations (ICGT 2006) editors_name: Corradini, Andrea editors_name: Ehrig, Hartmut editors_name: Montanari, Ugo editors_name: Ribeiro, Leila editors_name: Rozenberg, Grzegorz official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11841883_29 citation: Edelkamp, Stefan and Jabbar, Shahid and Lluch-Lafuente, Alberto Heuristic Search for the Analysis of Graph Transition Systems.
