This document describes the DiVA Studio tool deliverable which is downloadable from http://developer.berlios.de/projects/diva-unix/. The DiVA Studio is a set of tools and case studies that realize the technology developed to support the DiVA methodology to design and build adaptive systems and integrates cutting edge tools that enable researchers and engineers to plan, design, and implement adaptive systems. The purpose of this studio is to coordinate and produce an integrated framework for adaptive system engineering, covering the different lifecycle phases of an adaptive system (from requirement to runtime).

The main part of this deliverable is the Studio itself, which comprise an integrated toolset, execution platform, tutorials and methodology for construction and execution of adaptive systems. Each of the tools, the runtime platform and the methodology are described in detail in separate deliverables. Thus, this document only provides a brief overview of the studio and its components and explains how to install and get started with the studio. The document is structured as follows: After a brief introduction in Section 1, Section 2 describes how to install and get started with the software and the samples. The set of components which comprise the studio are briefly presented in Section 3.
