Spatial Kappa

14 September 2012

INTRODUCTION

This project contains an implementation of a syntactic extension of Kappa to allow expression of location and transport in models. A user manual is available here.

Feel free to add bug reports or feature requests here.

Note that the project makes use of the ANTLR IDE Eclipse plugin to generate the parser. If building the project from source, you'll need similar, or generate the parser from the ANTLR grammar manually.

DOWNLOADS

The project is hosted on github at https://github.com/donal-s/SpatialKappa. Downloads of the latest versions are available here.

USERS

The simulator was used by the 2010 Edinburgh iGEM team to run the computational models of the project. I'm now looking to expand the tool to be more useful for general users. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
