Technical Platform

MATSim-EpiSim Framework

The centrepiece of EPISERVE is the MATSim-EpiSim framework — a highly detailed Agent-Based Model (ABM) developed within the MODUS-Covid project.

Core features:

Simulation of individual mobility and activities
Detailed disease states
Integration of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions
Modular architecture for flexible extensions

Data Hub

Internal Data Lake infrastructure based on:

lakeFS for data version control
Ceph storage platform (ZIB) for long-term data storage
Apache Airflow for workflow management
S3-compatible interface for parallel uploads/downloads
