AToMPM - A Tool for Multi-Paradigm Modelling

AToMPM stands for "A Tool for Multi-Paradigm Modeling". It is a research framework from which you can generate domain-specific modeling web-based tools that run on the cloud. AToMPM is an open-source framework for designing DSML environements, performing model transformations, and manipulating and managing models. It runs completely over the web, making it independent from any operating system, platform, or device it may execute on. AToMPM follows the philosophy of modeling everything explicitly, at the right level of abstraction(s), using the most appropriate formalism(s) and process(es), being completely modeled by itself.
