Advanced material handling at Walmart resulted from simulation modeling. Leading companies around the world are benefiting from using simulation modeling in their material handling design and analysis. Learn why and how simulation is ideal for complex material handling challenges in our white paper with real-world business cases...

Dr. Igor Mazurok and his team applied AnyLogic simulation in the research of blockchain consensus mechanisms. Focusing on the Java based Nxt network, the team propose supplementing the network’s Proof of Stake consensus mechanism with a Proof of Greed mechanism so that transaction verification is rewarded more fairly.

Energy markets are changing. They are now open to competition, households regularly generate electricity, and a necessity for more environmentally friendly modes of transport means electric vehicles are placing new demands on electricity grids. While these changes take place, electricity delivery must remain stable and affordable.

Sjors Hijgenaar proposes a radical response to these developments — decentralized smart grids and direct local trade. As part of his analysis, he develops an agent-based simulation of a Dutch neighborhood that uses a smart grid and local trade to show the benefits for efficiency and reliability. How can this work?

Our AnyLogic partners in China obtained a paper relating to COVID-19 and permission to publish a translation.

Writing this now, there is obviously a lot of interest surrounding the spread of the COVID-19, the coronavirus disease. The paper studies the prevalence of infection in a population using agent-based simulation and looks at the importance of factors such as the frequency of close contact among a population.

Simulation is important for artificial intelligence because it provides solutions to some of the main problems faced by AI developers today. These solutions have immediate potential and are producing results already. Read on and get the whitepaper with example model...

AnyLogic whitepapers focus on simulation related topics, they provide an overview of their subject, some deeper insight, and examples, so that readers can work better with simulation technology and see how best to apply it. Here we introduce our whitepaper on Multimethod Simulation Modeling for Business.

There are three main approaches to simulation modeling — system dynamics, discrete-event, and agent-based — each with their own strengths and ...

Let your car drive around as a taxi when you are not using it says Tesla. While Waymo offers taxis without drivers to residents of Phoenix, AZ. Seemingly significant changes to the ways we make journeys are already underway and big business is involved, but what will their impact on our surroundings be?

A recent paper uses simulation modeling to investigate...

Our white paper Developing Disruptive Business Strategies with Simulation investigates business strategy analysis, the role of simulation, and how different strategies can be evaluated.

Based on an AnyLogic Conference presentation by PwC, it draws on real-world examples to illustrate the use of simulation modeling in business strategy decision making. The white paper forms part of our series that focuses on the application of simulation modeling in business. Read on...

Digital twin technology is developing rapidly, and over the next five years it will have a significant impact on industry, especially in helping drive cost savings. Reflecting this, Gartner has placed Digital Twins on its Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends 2019.

This blog introduces An Introduction to Digital Twin Development, a white paper about the benefits of digital twins and how to realize them successfully. Read on and get the free download.

Emergency evacuation planning for mass gatherings is essential public safety and security work for authorities and can help save lives. Imran Mahmood and Muhammad Haris of the National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan, and Hessam Sarjoughian of Arizona State University, USA, have used an AnyLogic based crowd simulation and analysis framework to analyze emergency evacuation strategies for one of the world’s greatest mass gatherings: Hajj.
