Abstract

BioSim Ware is a novel software that provides a user-friendly framework for the modeling and stochastic simulation of complex biological systems, ranging from cellular processes to population phenomena. BioSim Ware implements several stochastic algorithms to simulate the dynamics of single or multivolume models, as well as automatic tools to analyze the effect of variation of the system parameters. BioSim Ware supports SBML format, and can automatically convert stochastic models into the corresponding deterministic formulation. The main features of BioSim Ware are presented in this paper, together with some applications which highlight the most relevant aspects of the computational tools that it provides.
