To support students, teachers, developers and researchers, in this work we introduce a novel framework, namely NDlib, an environment designed to describe diffusion simulations. 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://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41060-017-0086-6
