Abstract :
Graspin, ESPRIT Project 125, which seeks to realize the benefits of integrated development environments for the analysis and design phases. The Graspin development environment uses a flexible internal representation to support textual and graphical languages. Its second-generation CASE (computer-aided software engineering) tools speed analysis and design. The descriptions covers Graspin´s tools, architecture, kernel system, and graphical languages and the formalisms it supports.<>
