Overview of CADBIOM |version|
=============================

CADBIOM (Computer Aided Design of Biological Models) is an open source modelling software.
Based on Guarded transition semantic, it gives a formal framework to help the modelling of
biological systems such as cell signalling networks.

Cadbiom provides:

- ability to study the behaviour of guarded transitions systems by generating scenarios
  (trajectory is a sequence of states of biomolecule);

- tools for the study of the structure and dynamics of biological networks;

- a command line and a graphical user interfaces to build and explore models,
  query the dynamics of these models, and work with the trajectories produced.
