**The Generic Modeling Environment** (**GME**) is a [domain-specific](/source/Domain-specific_modeling), [model-integrated](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Model_integrated_computing&action=edit&redlink=1) program synthesis tool for creating domain-specific models of large-scale systems. GME development started in 2000 at [Vanderbilt University](/source/Vanderbilt_University), US and continues well into 2022. Initially it only supported MS Windows OS,[1] but later evolved into WebGME, a web- and Node.js- based software.[2] Its primary purpose is model-building.

## Overview

GME allows users to define new modeling languages using [UML](/source/Unified_Modeling_Language)-based [metamodels](/source/Metamodeling). GME was developed in 2000 by the Institute for Software Integrated Systems at [Vanderbilt University](/source/Vanderbilt_University).[1] GME is a part of the [META Tool Suite](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=META_Tool_Suite&action=edit&redlink=1) and the [Adaptive Vehicle Make](/source/Adaptive_Vehicle_Make) program. The main language it uses is [CyPhyML](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CyPhyML&action=edit&redlink=1).

### WebGME

The new version of GME, called WebGME, is entirely web-browser based. It supports simultaneous distributed collaborative editing of models and has a version controlled database backend in the cloud. The native file format is .webgmexm.
