AbStochKin

Project Summary

AbStochKin is an agent-based (or particle-based) Monte-Carlo simulator of the time evolution of systems composed of species that participate in coupled processes. The population of a species is considered as composed of distinct individuals, termed agents, or particles. This allows for the specification of the kinetic parameters describing the propensity of each agent to participate in a given process.

Although the algorithm was originally conceived for simulating biochemical systems, it is applicable to other disciplines where there is a need to model how populations change over time and to study the effects of heterogeneity, or diversity, in the composition of species populations on the dynamics of a system.
