Boolean Network Simulator

This software allows to visualize and interactively simulate Boolean networks i.e. networks in which each node can assume one of two possible states and where the dependency of node states from the states of other nodes are described using logical equations. Different file formats are supported for import and export. This software was created for the modeling of biological signaling cascades, but is not limited to this application.

This project was inspired by previous work (see also https://github.com/biographer).

Should you have any questions, wishes or bug reports please feel free to open a ticket at https://github.com/matthiasbock/BooleSim/issues.

Have fun!
