The aim of AGTIVE is to unite people from research and industry interested in the application of Graph Transformation to practical problems.

Graphs constitute well-known, well-understood, and frequently used means to depict networks of related items in di?erent application domains. Various typesofgraphtransformationapproaches- alsocalledgraphgrammarsorgraph rewriting systems - have been proposed to specify, recognize, inspect, modify, anddisplaycertainclassesofgraphsrepresentingstructuresofdi?erentdomains. Research activities based on Graph Transformations (GT for short) cons- tute a well-established scienti?c discipline within Computer Science. The int- national GT research community is quite active and has organized international workshops and the conference ICGT 2002. The proceedings of these events, a three volume handbook on GT, and books on speci?c approaches as well as big application projects give a good documentation about research in the GT ?eld (see the list at the end of the proceedings). The intention of all these activities has been (1) to bring together the - ternational community in a viable scienti?c discussion, (2) to integrate di?erent approaches, and (3) to build a bridge between theory and practice.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Applications of Graph Transformations with Industrial Relevance, AGTIVE 2003, held in Charlotesville, Virginia, USA in September/October 2003.

The 27 revised full papers and 11 revised demo papers presented together with 2 invited papers and 5 workshop reports were carefully selected during iterated rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on Web applications; data structures and data bases; engineering applications; agent-oriented and functional programs and distribution; object- and aspect-oriented systems; natural languages: processing and structuring; reengineering; reuse and integration; modeling languages; bioinformatics; and multimedia, picture, and visual languages.
