Abstract
We propose a notion of Graph Transformation Systems (gts) with dependency relation, more expressive than a previously proposed one, and suitable for the specification of interactions. We show how a specification using gts with dependencies can be implemented, at a lower level of abstraction, by a transactional gts, that is, a gts equipped with the notion of observable (stable) items in which computations that correspond to “complete” interactions are characterized as transactions.
