Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Simulator
Read about the CCR DSS powered simulator --
In order to explore the implications of various approaches to granularity, security, and alternative pedigree models, a simulator is being developed. The simulator is composed of N supply chain tiers, such as Manufacturer, Wholesaler or Retailer, where each tier may have an arbitrary number of facilities. Each facility is modeled as a state machine running in its own thread of execution.
Just like the links in a metal chain the members of a supply chain may only have business relationships with their immediate neighbors. They may or may not know about more distant members of the chain and even if they are aware of their existence they may not have a business relationship with them.
The supply chain functions by executing business events between trading partners. One party initiates an event by sending a message to the other party, such as a Purchase Order (P.O. message).
The state of a facility is determined by the number of Purchase Orders it has pending and how much stock it has accumulated in its Warehouse. The simulation is driven by Purchase Orders that are submitted “upstream” by the retail tier. Goods are manufactured in response to purchase orders and are shipped “downstream”. Initial results show the simulator is capable of modeling 100,000 facilities and 100 million items of product being injected into the system per day. The load on the registry can vary by a factor of over 1000 in peak to average load with around 200 messages per second being the peak load for a 1 million per day flow.

Smart Grid
Korgi is currently simulating the "Smart Grid", testing the capacity of the new generation of data stores, and addressing the tremendous challenge of interoperability. As stated by NIST:
"The greatest benefit from the smart grid will be interoperability that will open up every aspect of the generation, distribution, and use of energy to innovation. Innovation will create change, and change will increase diversity. Diversity is always, and always will be, one of the greatest challenges not only to initial integration, but to maintenance management and to operational integrity of the grid."

High Performance Computing and Simulation
The Internet of Things—which combines RFID technology, the Internet and sensors —allows businesses to track tagged goods through the global supply chain. In the future, when the Internet of Things becomes commonplace, RFID data will be stored in millions of repositories worldwide. The volume of data and number of messages, connections and applications within the EPCglobal network infrastructure is certain to raise challenges to the scalability, security, extensibility and communication of current IT infrastructures.
Several architectures for EPCglobal network infrastructures have been proposed. The Korgi Inc, in collaboration with MIT, has designed a simulator to provide an objective measure of comparison and guidance for architecting a scalable and secure network.The simulator is based on the Robotics Studio Runtime and can simulate web scale.
