GeneSim is an open source project. Actually it has no direct funding, so it is carried out in the developers spare time with the valuable help of computer science students working for their theses.

The project is hosted by Sourceforge for what concerns the software issues (this web site, the CVS repository, the trackers, ...) and by Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Pisa for the hardware facilities (room, desk, chair, ...).

Giovanni A. Cignoni: leads (!) and manages (!!) the project; he started GeneSim in July 2004 as a result of his personal research about system modelling and patterns for code generation.

Simone Masoni: main developer of the Code Generator; he started working at GeneSim for his "Laurea Magistrale" degree thesis (MSc, University of Florence).

Andrea Bresciani: main developer of the Driver tool; he started working at GeneSim for his "Laurea" degree thesis (BSc, University of Pisa).

Ugo Vespier: main developer of the Designer tool; he started working at GeneSim for his "Laurea" degree thesis (BSc, University of Pisa).

Alessandro Lulli: main developer of the script interpreter; he started working at GeneSim for his "Laurea" degree thesis (BSc, University of Florence).

Alessio Salines: main developer of the interpolation library DbPFLib; he started working at GeneSim for his "Laurea" degree thesis (BSc, University of Pisa).

Giovanni Mirri: main developer of the DAVE-ML Translator; he started working at GeneSim for his "Laurea" degree thesis (BSc, University of Florence).

Stefano Paci: main developer of the ADE Modelling Method and the ADE simulator generator; he started working at GeneSim for his "Laurea" degree thesis (BSc, University of Florence)
