+<img src="universAAL_logo.jpg" alt="universAAL project logo" />
+<p/>
+
+<p> The AAL Studio provides an integrated development environment based on Eclipse for building
+applications and components using the universAAL execution platform. The AAL Studio will
+make it easier to get started with the development, and will make some of the development
+tasks more efficient. Also, it will give easy access to the resource needed by the developer. </p>
+
+<p> For more information about the AAL Studio tools and the universAAL project, visit
+the Developer Depot at <a href="http://depot.universaal.org/">http://depot.universaal.org/</a> and
