Zeta is a tool for automatically generating a graphical DSL from a range of textual DSLs. In combination with a suitable meta-model, you render these text definitions for a generator that creates a graphical editor for the web. So it can bee seen as a Model-driven generation of graphical editors with the goal to generate simulations from a graphical DSL.

In this wiki you will find an explanation of how the development system is set up, a few guidelines for development and a description of the relationships between the individual components. The architecture and the technologies used are also described.
