THIRD EDITION, with a new discrete-event model of a small job shop and demonstration of the built-in AnyLogic database.
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.
All the examples have been updated to conform to the latest version of the software, AnyLogic 7.3.1.
