Thank you for registering and attending the "AnyLogic 7.2 Webinar" on October 15th. We hope the webinar was interesting to you and met your expectations. For your convenience, the recorded webinar is available on the Educational Videos page of AnyLogic.com. The goal of AnyLogic and your webinar moderator, Tom Baggio, Sr. Solutions Architect at AnyLogic North America was to expand your knowledge of AnyLogic capabilities, functions and features. Please let us know how we can enhance your webinar experience by completing this short survey.

The AnyLogic North America team is growing again. As a Simulation Modeler you will work on a variety of projects and sales activities surrounding model building with AnyLogic. Learn more about the Simulation Modeling position and AnyLogic North America through our careers page and apply through our job posting on LinkedIn. This is your opportunity to work with the most influential organizations in the world, for the most innovative Simulation and Modeling Company in the world. AnyLogic has set the trend through multimethod modeling, and our team is like our software, flexible, complex, and dynamic with continuously increasing capabilities. Of course, you will share your expertise and leverage your technical experience, but an AnyLogic team member will also adapt to working under pressure in a fast paced environment.

The AnyLogic Conference 2015 is just around the corner! The optional Conference workshop on Wednesday, November 4th from 9:00 am – 11:00 am will be held on the 3rd floor of Le Meridien Philadelphia Hotel in the Abele Library. You must register for the workshop as space is limited. Conference registration begins at 11:30 am, also on the 3rd floor in the Trumbauer Lobby, where you will pick up your AnyLogic gift box and name badge. A light lunch and beverages will be served between 11:30 am and 12:15 pm in the Trumbauer Ballroom where Conference proceedings begin at 12:15 pm.

We at the AnyLogic Support Team very often get asked by the users: what to do if I can not reproduce model results? That is why I decided to share the list of the most common sources of randomness in the model. So, if you run the model with the Fixed seed of random number generator, but the results are not reproducible, please check your model according to the list below.

During the webinar, we will build a logistics model and show the unique capabilities of AnyLogic 7.2. The model will include mining, rail, and sea transportation. We will use agent-based modeling technology; the agents will be created and parameterized directly from the built-in AnyLogic database. o demonstrate AnyLogic’s extensibility, the webinar will focus on these key new features:

Join us for an AnyLogic Workshop Wednesday morning, November 4th from 9:00 am- 11:00 am. Get the latest tips and tricks on our most advanced software and newest versions, straight from the source! The workshop will be conducted by Dr. Andrei Borshchev, CEO, Nikolay Churkov, Head of Development and a special guest instructor. Space is limited, register now!

In this blog post, Dr. Ben Schumann, a simulation consultant with more than 15 years of experience, discusses the importance of testing simulation models. He emphasizes the need for efficient and structured testing methods beyond traditional practices and introduces "The Magic Ingredient," a dedicated function for creating a repeatable and structured approach to unit testing.

At the beginning of 2015 we were proud to release a free version of the software called PLE, or Personal Learning Edition meant for learning, teaching, and self-study. Since the release, we have been extremely impressed with not only the increase in the number of users but the complex projects produced with the free version. Our latest discovery is from Mihir Paithane, a student in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Program at Mills E. Godwin High School in Richmond, Va. Mihir built a model to analyze the “Effect of Cellular Interactions on Cancer Cell Growth Using Evolutionary Game Theory.” In this experiment, game theory was used to assess the interactions between three cell phenotypes usually found in cancer. The three defined cells were autonomous growth cells, invasive and motile malignant cells, and cells that performed anaerobic glycolysis. Based on preset variables in the payoff matrix, analytical equations were deduced that allowed for the analysis of the proportion of autonomous growth and malignant cells in a tumor. AnyLogic was also used to simulate the interactions between cancerous and healthy cells.

The largest public mental health facility in the United States is not a hospital; it is the Los Angeles County Jail. A Severely and Persistently Mentally Ill (SPMI) patient generally defines someone with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, or Major Depressive Disorder, and this group constitutes about 1.7% of the US population. To better understand the condition and possible improvements, IBM Global Research and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals used an agent-based approach to model the SPMI living situations over the second half of the 20th century. Kyle Johnson, Managing Consultant with IBM Global Business Services presented this project at the 2014 AnyLogic Conference. He works within the Advanced Analytics and Optimization branch of IBM BAO.
