Working with modular models, where any model may consist of other models, would benefit from a way of visual modeling that provides the user with live feedback of results of changes made on any model or any of its modules. Unfortunately, epidemiology reveals that current tools do not provide a proper way to work with such modular models with live visualizations of results.

This work presents a solution by providing models with diagram-based notations that are transformed to and from models of external execution back-end systems.

The tool resulting from this case study is based on OpenPonk platform and is used for Kendrick epidemiological modeling system as the back-end.
