Introduction

Ixa (Interactive eXecution of ABMs) is a Rust framework for building modular agent-based discrete event models for large-scale simulations. While its primary application is modeling disease transmission, its flexible design makes it suitable for a wide range of simulation scenarios.

Ixa is named after the Ixa crab, a genus of Indo-Pacific pebble crabs from the family Leucosiidae.

You are reading The Ixa Book, a tutorial introduction to Ixa. API documentation can be found at https://ixa.rs/doc/ixa.

This book assumes you have a basic familiarity with the command line and at least some experience with programming.
