 					<b>Kitalpha</b> is an environment to develop and execute MBE

 				</p>
 				<h3>An environment to develop and execute MBE workbenches…</h3>
 				<p>Kitalpha is dedicated to implement modelling frameworks and
 					viewpoints, and this in coherence with the ISO/IEC 42010 standard
 					for description of system architecture. In this standard, an
 					architecture framework aggregates viewpoints. Each viewpoint
 					describes at least one system concern, such as non-functional
 					concerns (e.g., performance, safety, security, and cost), for
 					involved stakeholders (e.g., safety engineer). Kitalpha extends the
 					definition of viewpoint to also consider it as an engineering
 					extension which comes with its own metamodels, representations
 					(e.g., diagrams, tables, user interfaces), rules (e.g., validation,
 					analysis, transformation), services and tools to address an
 					engineering specialty. Consequently, an MBE workbench is the result
 					of a flexible assembly of core viewpoints extended by new ones
 					which are, in the context of co-engineering, appropriate and
 					valuable for specialty engineers. The set of all the viewpoints
 					provide a solution for the complete description of a system.</p>

 				<h3>DSL Structure in Kitalpha</h3>
 				<p>The two Kitalpha DSLs, for the definition of architecture
 					framework and viewpoints of an MBE Workbench, follow the same
 					structure:
 				<ul>
 					<li>An abstract syntax that defines the languages to describe
 						architecture frameworks and viewpoints</li>
 					<li>A concrete syntax that enables the designers and
 						developers to describe architectures frameworks and viewpoints</li>
 				</ul>
 				At this stage, a textual syntax with Xtext is supported, even if the
 				foundations are able to accept other kinds of representations (e.g.,
 				graphical or tabular). A mechanism of synchronisation translates
 				concrete syntax into abstract syntax and vice versa. The viewpoint
 				DSL is more complex than the architecture framework DSL. The DSL is
 				decomposed by aspects:
 				<ul>
 					<br />
 					<li>Data for the definition of metamodels</li>
 					<li>User interface for the data representation by user
 						interfaces</li>
 					<li>Diagram for the graphical representation of data</li>
 					<li>Services for the definition of business rules, services,
 						and parameters</li>
 					<li>Build to automatically generate continuous integration
 						scripts</li>
 					<li>Configuration to tune the generation parameters of
 						architecture framework and viewpoint artefacts.</li>
