Creating GUI-based DSL formal tools

Abstract

In this paper we propose a rigorous methodology to create GUI-based DSLs formal tools. From a formal specification of a DSL we extract a metamodel and create a user-friendly (GUI) front-end. Then we use a code synthesizer to create a formally verified back-end. At the end we link both parts using a wrapper solution. We aim at providing a productive and trustworthy development methodology to safety critical industries.
