Arctis is an Eclipse-based tool for the development of reactive systems, created here at the Department of Telematics. The main focus of Arctis are reusable building blocks, from which systems can be composed. In contrast to more traditional tools, these building blocks may be collaborations, which means that one building block can describe the behavior of several system components. This makes it easier to reuse complete services, since all interactions necessary to coordinate behavior among components can be encapsulated. A brief overview is published here.

At the moment we are using Arctis internally to clean all the sharp edges and do a lot of fine-tuning. If you are interested in working with it, you may contact us.
