Descrizione del progetto
This project aims will be the development of a new computational framework for the study of West Nile Disease which provides new tools for the evaluation, prevention and control of this disease.
The novelties and strengths of such framework will be: the use of a graphical formalism based on Petri Nets to simplify the model creation and to provide an intuitive description of the system behaviour; (2) the implementation of an R package to provide a user-friendly interface; (3) the containerization (into Docker images) of all the implemented analysis techniques to improve the framework portability and to ensure the reproducibility of the derived results; (4) The definition of a well-defined schema and related infrastructure to allow users to integrate their own analysis workflows in the framework
