Abstract :
We describe the Marama suite of meta-tools. This Eclipse-based toolset permits rapid specification of notational elements, meta-models, view editors and view-model mappings. It has a novel set of behavioural specification tools for both visual and model level behaviours. An integrated mapping tool provides model transformation and code generation support. The toolset has been applied to several significant application development tasks and has undergone a variety of evaluations.
