CoCoViLa is a model-based software development platform

The platform provides a framework for developing visual specification languages. It includes a visual editor for drawing schemes and a synthesizer for generating Java programs from visual schemes and declarative textual specifications.

Getting started

Please download and install CoCoVila: Installation guide. Simple tutorials of using CoCoViLa applications: Class Editor and Scheme Editor can be found in the Documentation section.

Demo packages can be found in Applications section. About the package format and specification language descriptions, see the Documentation section.


Class Editor

Class Editor is used for creating visual languages for different problem domains. A CoCoViLa package consists of a package description in XML format (e.g., mypackage.xml), bitmaps for all visual classes of the package (to be shown on the tool bar in the Scheme Editor), and Java classes associated with the visual classes.

Class Editor

Scheme Editor

The Scheme Editor is used as a visual environment for specifying models by drawing schemes and solving problems on the models. To solve a problem, first a package must be loaded and, thereafter a scheme that specifies a model has to be built or opened from a package folder.
