viaSim
has recently completed the first phase of development of its SimBLOX
agent-based simulation environment. SimBLOX is a revolutionary method
for developing complex simulations. Instead of attempting to attack a
problem from a macro-level, which often proves extremely difficult and
often impossible, the SimBLOX environment allows a user to develop
"generic" building block simulations that connect together to form a
macro-level model.
A good example of this approach is a supply chain simulation. A generic SimBLOX model is developed to represent an organization in the supply chain. This generic model is then replicated numerous times, once for each organization in the supply chain. For each organization model, specific input data are used, which now makes each replication of the generic model unique so that it corresponds to a single organization.
Yet, the SimBLOX approach is not just limited to supply chains. It can
be used in any situation where many of the entities involved share
similar attributes or structures. The four primary applications of
SimBLOX so far are in the following fields:
