Abstract
A single pushout approach to the transformation of attributed partial graphs based on categories of partial algebras and partial morphisms is introduced. A sufficient condition for pushouts in these categories is presented. As the synchronization mechanism we use amalgamation of rules and show how synchronization can be minimized. We point out how the results obtained can be employed in order to define an operational semantics for object specification languages.
