Bigraph Toolkit Suite constitutes very versatile, extensible and comprehensive open-source software solutions
designed for the manipulation and analysis of bigraphs.

Welcome to Bigraph Toolkit Suite, a collection of projects designed to provide tools, framework and libraries for working with bigraphs, bigraphical reactive systems and related technologies.

Explore the projects of Bigraph Toolkit Suite below:

• Description: A framework written in Java for the creation and simulation of bigraphs. It contains converters, basic means for visualization, and file-based persistence. A basic model checker for bigraphical reactive systems is also included.
• Type: Framework
• GitHub Repository: bigraphs.bigraph-framework Repository

• Description: This project serves as a reference implementation of an abstract syntax specification for bigraphs.
• Type: Specification
• GitHub Repository: bigraphs.bigraph-ecore-metamodel Repository

• Description: Bigellor is a web-based editor for the visual modeling of bigraphs.
• Type: IDE
• GitHub Repository: bigraphs.ide.bigellor Repository
