NDlib is designed to be a multi-level ecosystem that can be fruitfully used by different user segments. For this reason, upon NDlib, we designed a simulation server that allows remote execution of experiments as well as an online visualization tool that abstracts its programmatic interface and makes available the simulation platform to non-technicians.1 aRossetti, Giulio1 aMilli, Letizia1 aRinzivillo, S1 aSirbu, Alina1 aPedreschi, Dino1 aGiannotti, Fosca  uhttps://kdd.isti.cnr.it/publications/ndlib-python-library-model-and-analyze-diffusion-processes-over-complex-networks
