Sim Talk

Description: "Ben reviews the 2019 AnyLogic conference in Austin. He cover the main themes, the future developments planned and hands out his private awards for best talk and best insight. You can find a video version of this on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/benjaminIschumann/

This week, Ruud van der Ham joins Ben and introduces his Python library "Salabim". It is an open-source discrete-event library that allows not only flexible DES models but even animation. Ruud coded it from scratch over the course of several months and shares the advantages and differences from other packages and commercial tools

We are back after a long Christmas break with Frédérick Faucher from Direxyon, a Canadian software development firm that primarily creates tools for asset management decisions. Benjamin and Frédérick talk about their propriatary agent-based simulation tool for asset management that focuses on radical ease of use so any engineer can go create insights. http://direxyon.com/Benjamin Schumann: https://www.benjamin-schumann.com/ SimTalk: http://brokenjars.xyz/simtalk/ Social/OtherJacob on TwitterBroken Jar's Patreon

In this episode, Ben interviews Thomas French, CTO of Sandtable. They deliver agent-based models for human behavior but with a different twist: in order to allow massive data inputs, they deviated from traditional object-oriented agents to a new tensor-based approach that is much faster and esier to scale to entire populations.

I sit down with the CEO of Anylogic for a wonderful discussion about the software

In this episode, Ben conducts his first interview and hosts Felipe Haro, one of the rare freelance simulation consultants. Felipe shares how he got into simulation and how he ended up in his sweetspot of working from various beaches around the globe while building models for his clients.

Episode 8: Interview with Artem Parakhine In this episode, Ben sits down with Artem Parakhine, a Senior Manager from PWC in London. Artem has worked with simulation for over ten years and shares his journey. At the same time, they discuss how automated model building might look like in the future, what special problems arise for simulation consultants and how to figure out what to simulate and what to leave out.

Host: Benjamin SchumannDescription: We all know that data scientists are in high demand and even labelled as the "sexiest job of the 21st century". In this episode, Ben argues that much of their skills might soon be eaten by machines whereas simulation-modelling skills will become ever more important (and no machine will eat them too soon). Also, it just more fun so we declare it the second sexiest job of our century.Social/OtherJacob on TwitterBen on TwitterBen's WebsiteBroken Jar's Patreon

In this mini-episode, Ben picks up a thought from a previous interview with Stefan Bengtsson on SimTalk: To be bolder with simulation. Ben shares three ways to push back on your supervisor or client when they see simulation as "too advanced" or "beyond the scope of what we need"

I sit down with Stefan Bengtsson to discuss the current state of the Simulation Modeling Industry and where we thing it is going

This is the first mini-episode of SimTalk where we spend only a few minutes to discuss simulation issues. This includes recent events, techniques or observations. In this first episode, Benjamin Schumann shares his observations from the recent AnyLogic conference in Baltimore
