I am just looking around

To orientate yourself and get an overview, have a look at the following resources:

• browse the tutorials
• see our videos for our latest demonstrations
• see our models, components, systems, and more and also our GitHub Repository
• see Eclipse SmartMDSD for the SmartMDSD Toolchain
• What is SmartSoft? (Slides)
• why SmartSoft? Benefits and User Study
• read more about the SmartSoft World

The easiest way: Virtual Machine Download

Get Started with the SmartSoft World and the SmartMDSD Toolchain in a virtual machine and be guided through the first steps. Everything is ready-to-go for the beginner (software components, systems, simulators, and more) and it even comes with everything for the advanced user (develop your own components, compose components to applications, deploy and run them):

• Get in touch with the RobMoSys community.

Full Fledged Users: I want it all

You can also use the virtual machine. However, in order to access the full power of your computer during your development and when running simulations, we strongly recommend to install the SmartMDSD Toolchain directly onto your computer without the indirection of a virtual machine.
