New release: GLEaMviz Simulator v2.8

The teams involved in Epiwork WP4 are pleased to announce the release of GLEaMviz Simulator v2.8. The principal new feature in this release is the ability to specify time-dependent overrides of the default values for variables defined in the compartmental model. Such overrides can be used to model time-dependent changes in the infection dynamics of the epidemic such as the effect of mitigation policies on the disease parameters.

A new panel in the Simulation Wizard, shown in the figure below, enables the modeler to add one or more time-dependent variable overrides. Each override applies for one selected variable and is valid from the selected start date up to and including the selected end date. The overriding value is specified as an algebraic expression that may include references to other variables, just like a default value for variables or transition rates expressions.

GLEaMviz simulator: new public release with multiple output data

A new public release of the Work Package 4 GLEaMviz simulator is now available!
The main difference of this new update relates to the simulations’ output data that can be retrieved after execution to be visualized and analyzed. It is indeed now possible for GLEaMviz users to download from the server the simulation’s output of multiple compartments at the same time, separately, and then choose to visualize and analyze them one by one or aggregate them in a flexible way in the visualization window.

Additional improvements have been added to this release, including the possibility to visualize an arbitrary number of plot charts in the visualization window and to immediately save the data of a plot chart to a file for subsequent analysis.
The new features have been documented in the updated version of the manual, which can be found here.
