Pharo version CI Coverage Status License

Kendrick provides an embedded Domain-Specific Language and a Simulation Plaform for mathematical epidemiology modeling. It helps epidemiologists craft custom analyses cheaply. It's based on Pharo and it's open source under MIT licence. Classes of epidemic model include deterministic compartmental models, stochastic individual contact models, and individual-based network models.

Kendrick is based extensively on several Pharo ecosystem tools including PetitParser and Roassal visualization engine.
