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.

AnyLogic North America recently exhibited at the very well attended INFORMS show in San Antonio, TX. It was a pleasant surprise to see the mix of Academics and Business attendees as well as the diverse tracks INFORMS provided to appease their quest for knowledge. While many folks who already knew of AnyLogic stopped by our booth to say “hi” or challenge Scott Hebert (our North American Technical Consultant) on best practices; see picture, there were many professionals who are currently experiencing true business challenges and were looking to AnyLogic to help them solve their problems.
