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.

Paris in spring…what a wonderful combination! Perhaps that was the reason we chose this time and place for our Fundamentals Training. In Russia, it is still freezing, so it was a huge relief for us to escape to the ever-blossoming capital of France. We found ourselves in the 16th century quarter of Marais, where the walls breathe history. Is there something as exciting as this place? Nothing but learning simulation there.

Dynamic Modeling Workshop & Training took place on 18-22 February 2013 at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney. Healthcare was the main field of simulation modeling application discussed there. The workshop’s target audience was simulation modeling specialists, researchers, practitioners and policy makers who wanted to advance their knowledge in dynamic modeling methods and see some examples of their use. 42 people attended the event. You can find the materials here.

This year has started out with two back-to-back trade shows! At Promat 2013 – supply chain, manufacturing and distribution trade show – AnyLogic team showcased the demo models built to optimize the distributors/resellers network, average delivery time and terminal operations. Most of the feedback we got on the Adaptive Supply Chain, Flexible Manufacturing Supply Chain[/url] and Container Line models.

In December 2012 two remarkable simulation events took place in Berlin – Winter Simulation Conference 2012 and the first AnyLogic Conference on multimethod modeling. Both events attracted a lot of attention and we would like to share with you the materials we received during the conferences.

This November the AnyLogic team completed a roadshow to several Chinese universities and research institutes. The visit was organized by our partner in China, Beijing Carila Tech. This roadshow allowed AnyLogic users to interactively communicate with the developers. The agenda included a training course, workshop and several presentations.

The AnyLogic Company and SimPlan China participated in the CeMAT Asia 2012. This is one of the biggest tradeshows in Asia on material handling, automation, transport and logistics – more than 400 exhibitors, thousands of visitors from multiple countries.
