AnyLogic 7 in Three Days: A Quick Course in Simulation Modeling

THIRD EDITION, with a new discrete-event model of a small job shop and demonstration of the built-in AnyLogic database. <br /><br />The first practical textbook on AnyLogic 7 from AnyLogic developers. AnyLogic is the unique simulation software that supports three simulation modeling methods: system dynamics, discrete event, and agent based modeling and allows you to create multi-method models. The book is structured around four examples: a model of a consumer market, an epidemic model, a model of a small job shop, and an airport model. We also give some theory on different modeling methods. You can consider this book as your first guide in studying AnyLogic 7.<br /><br />All the examples have been updated to conform to the latest version of the software, AnyLogic 7.3.1. <br /><br />CONTENTS: <br /><br />Modeling and simulation modeling<br />AGENT-BASED MODELING<br />MARKET MODEL<br />Phase 1.
