The meta-modeling process is often supported through software tools, called CAME tools (Computer Aided Method Engineering) or [[MetaCASE tool]]s (Meta-level Computer Assisted Software Engineering tools).
Often the instantiation technique "has been utilised to build the repository of Computer Aided Method Engineering environments".<ref name="Rolland 1998" /><ref name="Kelly 1996">{{cite book | doi = 10.1007/3-540-61292-0 | title=MetaEdit+ A fully configurable multi-user and multi-tool CASE and CAME environment | publisher=Springer |___location=Heidelberg | volume =1080 |year=1996 |pages=1–21 | series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science | isbn=978-3-540-61292-6 | s2cid=27968437 | title=Advanced Information Systems Engineering }}</ref><ref name="Harmsen 1995">{{cite book | doi=10.1109/APSEC.1995.496992 | chapter=Design and implementation of a method base management system for a situational CASE environment | year=1995 | last1=Harmsen | first1=F. | title=Proceedings 1995 Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference | last2=Brinkkemper | first2=S. | pages=430–438 |chapter-url=http://doc.utwente.nl/19431/ | isbn=978-0-8186-7171-5 | s2cid=16914451 | url=https://research.utwente.nl/en/publications/design-and-implementation-of-a-method-base-management-system-for-a-situational-case-environment(0a0f863d-3ac2-4540-94cf-962270ebdff1).html }}</ref><ref name="Merbeth 1991">G.
