MIM-2022 conference was held in Nantes, France, on June 22-24, 2022.

In the conference Manufacturing Modelling, Management and Control – 10th MIM 2022 the employee of ITSAM laboratory V.V. Zakharov took part.

V.V. Zakharov presented a report on the topic: “Combined Models and Algorithms on Modern Proactive Intellectual Scheduling under Industry 4.0 Environment”.

Authors: B.V. Sokolov, V.V. Zakharov, A.Y. Baranov.

V.V. Zakharov has won the internal competition of St. Petersburg SPC RAS for remuneration of participation in the leading scientific conferences for young researchers of the center.

One of the largest events in the field. 757 participants from 71 countries, 545 full sectional and 6 plenary reports.

Renowned world experts presented the results of many years of research and shared “insights” and valuable ideas.

The results will be published in the Proceedings, which will be indexed in Scopus/WoS (open access).

At the stage of reviewing the text was studied by 3 experts who made a number of valuable comments.

I would like to note the high level of reports and organization. The atmosphere was conducive to communication.

The organizers consistently followed the schedule of presentations. The reports started exactly at the appointed time, which allowed to plan in detail the remote work through the Webex platform.

The next MIM-2025 conference will be held in Trondheim, Norway

On June 6-8, 2022 a conference was held in the walls of SPC RAS.

The ADOP-2022 conference was attended by the laboratory staff:
B.V. Sokolov, V.V. Zakharov, A.V. Spesivtsev.

Zakharov V.V. presented a report on the topic: Content and formal formulation of the problem of synthesis of technologies and programs for proactive management of grass forage production.

According to the results of the conference, the staff identified possible points of growth in the field of informatization of the agricultural sphere:

• Complex modeling of complex organizational and technical objects;
• Modeling of production processes;
• Proactive monitoring and management;
• Predictive modeling;
• Transition from import substitution to import outperformance.

On 01/04/2022, the results of the competition were summarized.

On October 20-22, 2021, the 10^th All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference «Simulation Modeling. Theory and practice» (IMMOD-2021) was held in St. Petersburg.

The conference program included reports related primarily to the field of modeling systems with discrete events and time. Reports on system modeling using other technologies (system dynamics, agent and evolutionary modeling, neural networks, etc.) were submitted if they contained results related to general methodological, software and hardware problems of simulation and complex modeling of complex objects and processes in various subject areas.

LITSAM graduate student Murashov D.A. presented a report on the topic “Analytical and simulation modeling of the processes of coordination of group behavior of agents” and became the laureate of the Youth Prize named after N.P. Buslenkov in the field of theory and practice of simulation modeling.

Congratulations!
