AnyLogic incorporates a range of functionality for the development of agent-based models. For example, models can dynamically read and write data to spreadsheets or databases during a simulation run, as well as dynamically chart model output. Furthermore, external programmes can be initiated from within an AnyLogic model for dynamic communication of information, and vice versa. However, AnyLogic models can only be created on Microsoft operating systems, although a simulation can be run on any Java- enabled operating system once compiled (e.g. a Macintosh operating system). The AnyLogic website notes that models have been developed for a diverse range of applications including: the study of social, urban (Figure 4) and ecosystem dynamics (e.g. a predator-prey system); planning of healthcare schemes (e.g. the impact of safe syringe usage on HIV diffusion); computer and telecommunication networks (e.g. the placement of cellular phone base stations); and the location of emergency services and call centres. However, the source code of these examples and / or documentation of these models are unavailable.
