The University of Erlangen-Nuremburg Computer Networks and Communication Systems group specializes in the simulation of large-scaled complex systems such as healthcare, automotive, industry and energy. One of the latest projects concerned the possibility and location of Mobile Stroke Units (MSU’s) due to the increase of stroke victims in an aging population. A stroke is typically caused by Thrombosis and should be treated with thrombolysis. Stroke causes severe disability and produces high costs for care and rehab if not treated quickly.

Making the best tool even better...welcome to AnyLogic 7. AnyLogic7 is released! After a very successful Beta program, AnyLogic 7 is available to the general public for upgrade or purchase. Our development team worked diligently listening to our customers and incorporating new features, enhancements, functionality, and customer recommendations into our latest release. Congratulations to the team for their tremendous work.

The requirement for modeling and simulation across the entire business lifecycle and the ever increasing demand for AnyLogic software is clear. AnyLogic North Americas’ expanded customer base and retention of longtime business partners has laid the foundation for significant improvement as well as tremendous excitement surrounding the newest version, AnyLogic 7. The AnyLogic Company will continue its pursuit of being the superior modeling and simulation tool available to the market by meeting and exceeding their customers’ needs, including complex decision making and problem solving in a variety of industries.

Hello Everyone! At The AnyLogic Conference 2013 I announced results of my recent research regarding GIS alternatives for AnyLogic and would like to share my experience. Using open source projects, a small amount of Java code and publicly available GIS data services, I was able to: - Display Tile map on model presentation with pan and zoom. Downloaded tiles are cached in model folder. - Switch different tile sources in runtime. - Display animation of agents living in GIS space shown on top of map. - Perform geocoding/reverse geocoding by parsing http query response. - Get routing data by parsing http query response.

The AnyLogic Company along with Evans & Peck will hold an AnyLogic 7 workshop in Melbourne Australia February 27th and 28th, 2014. Dr. Andrei Borshchev, CEO of the AnyLogic Company and Dr. Geoff McDonnell, Simulation Research Fellow, AIHI at Adaptive Care Systems will be instructing the course. For nearly 30 years, Evans & Peck has supported key decision makers in the health, transport and resources sectors through the application of multi-method simulation modelling. Evans & Peck are the AnyLogic software distributors for Australia and New Zealand.

“The Big Book of Simulation Modeling" is the only book that comprehensively presents all three methods, or paradigms, in simulation modeling: Agent Based, System Dynamics, and Discrete Event. It explains how to choose the right constructs of the modeling language to create a representation of a real world system that is suitable for risk-free dynamic experiments. The book is based on the modeling languages supported by AnyLogic, the software tool that enables a modeler to utilize all three methods and is the only one with the capability to combine them together in a single model. Written by the creator of the software, this book is the most in-depth information resource on AnyLogic and utilization of multimethod modeling that currently exists. It covers topics from building simple Agent Based models with statecharts to developing data exchange with external programs.

AnyLogic had a blast at WSC 2013 and the JW Marriott in downtown Washington DC proved to be a comprehensive conference venue. Thank you to the many longtime AnyLogic users and advocates of the software. We appreciate you stopping by our booth and updating us on your simulation and modeling projects. The AnyLogic booth allows us to showcase models dependent upon customer needs which enabled new users to grasp the benefit of multimethod software.

Be among the first to experience AnyLogic 7’s new features! We are in the Beta testing phase for the AnyLogic 7 edition and you can apply to be a Beta tester. Try it out and let us know what you think! With your help, we can work to eliminate bugs and have a final version of AnyLogic 7 ready for release this winter.
