Tool Support

To show the viability of the approach, we describe the tool framework we used for

realizing the whole development process presented in Figure 1. Our framework

pieces that were missing for covering all the design phases. Once the designer pro-

vides the initial models, the rest of the process is performed automatically. Figure

12 shows the tools we used for each step of the design.
