The HeuristicLab Team is expanding further and we want to welcome our new team members, Daniel Dorfmeister, Lukas Kammerer and Roland Hanghofer.

Daniel and Lukas completed their master studies at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria this year. Both graduated in Software Engineering from the double degree program at the University of Calabria and the FH OÖ Campus Hagenberg .

Daniel is working on the project DigiMont, Lukas on the contract research for EREMA.

Roland is still in the bachelor degree course and works as a trainee for the research group.

Our research group member Jan Zenisek won the VI Edition of Gianni Cantice Award for Gifted Simulation Students for his submission "Smart Maintenance Lifecylce Management: A Design Proposal". We would like to congratulate you, Jan, on this award!

Michael Affenzeller held a keynote about interactions between Modeling/Simulation and Computational Intelligence at I3M conference 2017 in Barcelona. The lecture was very well attended.

The presentation covered theoretical aspects as well as real world examples demonstrating how the open source framework HeuristicLab can be used for modeling, optimization and machine learning tasks for concrete challenges in the domain of production, logistics and systems research.
