Mental The model The solution at the model level Physical Analytical Dynamic (simulation) RISK-FREE SPACE

The world of models The real world

The problem The solution

• A dynamic simulation model is an “executable”model ̶ A set of rules that allow us to obtain the next state of the system in time from the current state • The model produces a trajectory of the system state in time ̶ Outputs are “observed” as we move

DEMO

• as long as a standard browser is used to view an AnyLogic simulation animation and to control the model execution via HTTP/HTTPS, it does not actually matter where the model is running: ̶ on the same ̶ on a ̶ on a ̶ in the Cloud machine where colleague’s corporate animation and machine server controls are displayed

OR* https

* One connection per model

• now you can build your own HTML5 frontends (much richer, more advanced, and up-to-date than Java Swing), embed AnyLogic animation and control model execution from JavaScript ̶ …instead of embedding

• conveyor networks ̶ roller, belt, fixed-cell conveyors ̶ turn table, transfer table, turn station connecting elements ̶ automatic routing with optional custom restrictions ̶ priorities at merges ̶ photo-eyes (position on conveyor) ̶ acceleration and deceleration ̶ stations with default and custom logic ̶ callbacks (extension points) at all important events • transporters (man-driven or AGVs) ̶ path-based movement with automatic & custom routing ̶ speed limits, transporters on path limits ̶ acceleration and deceleration ̶ basic collision avoidance ̶ fleet mgmt. (seize policies, task priorities, custom logic) ̶ interaction with conveyor networks ̶ callbacks

• Professional agent based • Apply simulation in the areas where it modeling had not been possible before, like marketing, social and ecosystems • Bring models from traditional areas, like supply chains and manufacturing, to a new level of flexibility and accuracy

• Professional agent based • Develop models using all three modeling existing simulation methods in any combination to simulate systems of • Multi-method modeling any complexity • AnyLogic was the first tool to introduce multimethod simulation modeling, and still remains the only software that has that capability.

• in terms of innovation, the simulation modeling landscape these days is sort of static: ̶ methodology / languages: nothing new since the emergence of Agent Based modeling in early 2000s ̶ tools: gradual improvements, if any; some vendors have discontinued updates and focused on consulting, some are trying to look trendy by saying something like “we’re Industry 4.0 ready” while offering same stuff as years ago • cloud is the only interesting thing happening today ̶ in engineering or scientific simulation, Cloud is becoming mainstream ̶ our sector (dynamic simulation for business) is behind, but catching up • the good news is that AnyLogic is far ahead everybody elseand already offering a fully-featured powerful AnyLogicCloud solution

• everything else is experiment moving to the Cloud lifecycle of a execution output analysis simulation and export of model results experiment USE design Dashboard design

verification / validation • the development of simulation working with debugging models includes intensive input data DEVELOP graphical editing, text input, working with multiple windows, conceptual etc. Keyboard and mouse are modeling model “coding” needed. Will not benefit much from Cloud. It will stay offline © The AnyLogic Company | www.anylogic.com 27 Leveraging Cloud for multiple run experiments

• AnyLogic Cloud squeezes the most from Cloud computing by remembering and reusing every ( Input / Output ) pair of every executed run

run Monte Carlo with 100 Dispatcher / replications Load balancer

which runs have been done already? we will skip them and reuse the results DB of independent runs are I/O pairs executed on all available cores of (dynamically) allocated nodes

DEMO

• if you wanted to leave your model with the client, previously you had to schedule a meeting, copy files, install some software, etc. • not any more! with AnyLogic Cloud you can instantly deliver the latest version of your model to the client using secure private model sharing. and the client will be able to run it on any device!

Delivery time is 20 sec

• work collaboratively on the same model ̶ share source files, use Cloud for version control ̶ create and run experiments, share and discuss results online ̶ given the AnyLogic Cloud run reuse technology, collaborative work with the model will be the most efficient! • create your online model portfolio ̶ if you are a consulting company, an individual consultant, or simply a student looking for a job, publish your best models in AnyLogic cloud and let others run them • search for models, meet other modelers, publish, run, leave your comments and ’s!

anybody (even not an + run any models and – limited AnyLogic user) any experiments in parallel public space nodes – limited PLE user or UR / Pro + upload models to simulation user not under public space time maintenance – no access UR or Pro user under + upload & share models to external maintenance privately Internet a user under + high availability of parallel nodes subscription + unlimited simulation time + open API for custom frontends and scenarios + access to Internet / external resources

• Although AnyLogic public cloud has a private sector, which is a secure space, still security policies of many companies require that data should not leave their own private network • For such clients we offer AnyLogic Private Cloud product: a software that is installed on a local network or company’s own cloud and provides exactly the same functionality as the AnyLogic cloud ̶ Including parallel runs, load balancing, DB of input/output pairs, etc. • AnyLogic model editor then will be able to upload to private cloud • In addition, we will provide Java, python, and JS API to set inputs, run, and retrieve outputs of the uploaded models w/o the default frontend: that will allow to build simulations into larger custom analytical workflows
