The video of Dr. Andrei Borshchev’s workshop “Multimethod Modeling and Simulation with AnyLogic” is now available online. The workshop took place at the Henri Fayol Institute of École des Mines in Saint-Etienne, France on June 19, 2013. Dr. Borshchev introduced theories about different simulation modeling methods and multimethod simulation. He also showed how to build models employing these different methods. This workshop would be interesting to people unfamiliar with simulation modeling and to those who want to expand their knowledge in this topic.

The AnyLogic North America team attended INFORMS Helathcare in Chicago, IL at the Marriot Magnicent Mile during the week of June 23rd – June 26th. Our software has the capability to model the challenges, which are faced in the healthcare system, which researchers discussed at the INFORMS Healthcare conference.

Meet the team of AnyLogic North America! The AnyLogic North America team is excited to introduce Derek Magilton - Director of Business Development as our newest addition to our rapidly growing team at our new location in Lisle, IL. Derek’s entire career has been customer facing with various management roles; most recently spending the last 7 years at a Fortune 50 company as the Global Program Manager for the factory software group – working directly with some of the largest electronics companies in the world.

Dr. Andrei Borshchev, the CEO of The AnyLogic Company, will host a workshop called “Multimethod Modeling and Simulation with AnyLogic” at the Henri Fayol Institute of École des Mines in Saint-Etienne, France on June 19, 2013. In this workshop, Dr. Andrei Borshchev will offer an overview of the most used multimethod (or multi-paradigm) model structures, discuss the technical aspects of linking different methods within one model, and show examples of multimethod models. He will, of course, be using AnyLogic technology during his presentation.

The AnyLogic Company participated in TransRussia 2013, an international logistics tradeshow, which took place from April 23-26 in Moscow, Russia. This was the 18th year that TransRussia was held. More than 500 companies from 27 countries took part in the tradeshow, including The AnyLogic Company, which hosted a booth and organized several presentations. The visitors at the AnyLogic booth learned about the newest multimethod modeling technologies and saw real-life models from logistics, supply chains, cargo transportation, and container terminal management. They received complete information on the advantages of AnyLogic simulation software, opportunities to model and implement the processes, and consulting services offered by the company.

The European In-Depth Training took place in Paris on May 13-15, 2013. Five students from different countries took part in it, representing the following organizations: Consolidated Contractors Company (Greece), University of Bielefeld (Germany), The University of Nottingham (UK), Savonia University (Finland), University of Pardubize (Czech Republic). Due to the small class size, the atmosphere during the training was friendly and students were able to get to know each other and us better. It is of upmost importance for us to take the time to answer all of the students’ questions. So, as usual, in addition to completing the training program, we did our best to provide them with expertise on their own simulation projects.

Planning a huge airport terminal is a task that requires simulation modeling to complete the project successfully. A forum where airport planners gather is the ideal place to demonstrate the powerful alliance of the three simulation methods of AnyLogic software in action. The 2013 Passenger Terminal Expo, the leading airport passenger terminal exhibition, took place in Geneva from April 9-11. This year’s exposition was recognized as the most successful one in its 19 year history. The event united more than 180 exhibitors with more than 3500 professionals. The visitors included company CEOs, architects, airport engineers, airline representatives, and many other professionals connected to the airport industry.
