<h1>AToMPM Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#atompm-documentation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>AToMPM (&#8220;A Tool for Multi-Paradigm Modelling&#8221;) is a (meta)modelling workbench, which allows language developers to create visual domain-specific languages, and domain experts to use these languages. A language is defined by its <em>abstract syntax</em> in a metamodel, its <em>concrete syntax(es)</em>, which define(s) how each abstract syntax element is visualized, and its <em>semantics definition(s)</em>, either operational (a simulator) or translational (by mapping onto a known semantic domain). AToMPM supports model transformations to model semantics.</p>
<p>This documentation serves to introduce AToMPM to the two main user groups: language developers and language users.</p>
