AnyLogic is a multimethod simulation modeling tool developed by The AnyLogic Company (former XJ Technologies). It supports agent-based, discrete event, and system dynamics simulation methodologies.〔(Software documentation ) on the company's official website.〕 AnyLogic PLE edition is available for free for self-educational and educational purposes.〔(Edition comparison ) on the company's official website.〕 ==History of AnyLogic== In the beginning of the 1990s there was a big interest in the mathematical approach to modeling and simulation of parallel processes. This approach may be applied to the analysis of correctness of parallel and distributed programs. The Distributed Computer Network (DCN) research group at Saint Petersburg Technical University developed such a software system for the analysis of program correctness; the new tool was named COVERS (Concurrent Verification and Simulation). This system allowed graphical modeling notation for system structure and behavior. The tool was applied for the research granted by Hewlett Packard. In 1998 the success of this research inspired the DCN laboratory to organize a company with a mission to develop a new age simulation software. The emphasis in the development was placed on applied methods: simulation, performance analysis, behavior of stochastic systems, optimization and visualization. New software released in 2000 was based on the latest advantages of information technologies: an object-oriented approach, elements of the UML standard, the use of Java, a modern GUI, etc. The tool was named AnyLogic, because it supported all three well-known modeling approaches: * System dynamics, * Discrete event simulation, * Agent-based modeling.〔Cynthia Nikolai, Gregory Madey. (Tools of the Trade: A Survey of Various Agent Based Modeling Platforms ), ''Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation vol. 12, no. 2 2'', 31 March 2009〕 + Any combination of these approaches within a single model.〔Andrei Borshchev, Alexei Filippov. (From System Dynamics and Discrete Event to Practical Agent Based Modeling: Reasons, Techniques, Tools ),''The 22nd International Conference of the System Dynamics Society'', July 25–29, 2004, Oxford, England〕 The first version of AnyLogic was AnyLogic 4, because the numbering continues the numbering of COVERS 3.0. A big step was taken in 2003, when AnyLogic 5 was released. It was focused on business simulation in the following domains: * Market and Competition, * Healthcare,〔Kirk Solo, Mark Paich (A Modern Simulation Approach for Pharmaceutical Portfolio Management ), ''SimNexus LLC''〕 * Manufacturing,〔Yuri G.

In addition to shapefile-based maps, AnyLogic started to support tile maps from free online providers, including OpenStreetMap and Google Maps.〔(Software documentation. )〕 The platform for AnyLogic 7 model development environment is Eclipse. AnyLogic 7 is a cross-platform simulation software as far as it works on Windows, Mac OS and Linux.〔The full system requirements list on (the official web-site ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AnyLogic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
