ANDREI BORSHCHEV
The Big Book of Simulation Modeling Multimethod Modeling with
Anylogic 6
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr.Andrei Borshchev is the CEO and co-founder of The Anylogic Company,a leading provider of dynamic simulation tools,technologies,and consulting services for business applications,and is personally recognized as one of the world’s top experts in Agent Based ang multimethod simulation modeling. Since 1998,Dr.Borshchev has been leading the development of Anylogic software enabling it to be considered the corporate standard for simulation in over 500 organizations worldwide.He has conducted hundreds of lectures,seminars,and training sessions on simulation modeling and Anylogic in the USA,Canada,Europe,Russia, Australia,China,Korea,Japan,and South Africa,and has also led numerous simulation based consulting projects across multiple markets including logistics,transportation, supply chains,defense,healthcare,manufacturing,and consumer market analysis.
ABOUT THE BOOK This is a practical guide to building simulation models.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.And this is the only book that comprehensively presents all three methods,or paradigms,in simulation modeling:Agent Based,System Dynamics,and Discrete Event. The book is based on the modeling languages supported by Anylogic,the software tool that enables a modeler to utilize all three methods and to combine them in a single model. Written by the creator of the software,this book is the most in-depth information resource on Anylogic and multimethod modeling that currently exists. It covers topics from building simple Agent Based models with state charts,to designing interactive 3D animations,to developing data exchage with external programs. With over 100 hans-on,step-by-step examples with different levels of complexity and various application areas,this book is extremely uesful to both simulation professionals and students learning simulation modeling.
