SED‐ML web tools: generate, modify and export standard‐compliant simulation studies

Summary: The Simulation Experiment Description Markup Language (SED‐ML) is a standardized format for exchanging simulation studies independently of software tools. We present the SED‐ML Web Tools, an online application for creating, editing, simulating and validating SED‐ML documents. The Web Tools implement all current SED‐ML specifications and, thus, support complex modifications and co‐simulation of models in SBML and CellML formats. Ultimately, the Web Tools lower the bar on working with SED‐ML documents and help users create valid simulation descriptions.
