Abstract. This paper presents the combined use of
meta-modelling and graph grammars for the generation
of visual modelling tools for simulation formalisms. In
meta-modelling, formalisms are described at a meta-
level. This information is used by a meta-model processor
to generate modelling tools for the described formalisms.
We combine meta-modelling with graph grammars to
extend the model manipulation capabilities of the gen-
