Metatools.

The multitude of concurrency models and verification formalisms has also spurred interest in the development of metatools that support the customization and collaborative use of existing tools. Examples include PAM, which allows users to change the process algebra and equational axiomatization being used; the Process Algebra Compiler, which may be used to generate new front ends for the Concurrency Workbench; and MetaFRAME, which provides a framework for integrating tools so that they may be used in conjunction with one another.
