Abstract:	Model transformations are a fundamental part of model-driven software development. A widely accepted formal basis for such transformations is Graph Rewriting. For real-world transformations there is a need to examine how well practical demands can rest upon this grounding. To support some of these demands (debugging, dependency visualization and change propagation) we propose the extension of Graph Transformation Systems with tracing. In this paper we investigate, how tracing can facilitate other approaches or even permit new opportunities. We discuss related issues and initial sketches for their solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
