In this talk we look at how we can simulate a complex, multidisciplinary industrial process. Specifically, we look at the so-called Energiefabriek (Energy factory) in Hengelo. The Energiefabriek creates energy out of waste water sludge (=sewage). This projects involves chemical engineering, mechanical eng., electrical eng., and process automation. We created a simulator that lets you simulate the behaviour of all of these disciplines. We look at how we created it, and how we can use it to optimize the design of the Energiefabriek. Using an online Jupyter notebook, you are yourself invited to try and optimize the simulation model and solve our (self-inflicted) bugs.

Project TITAN - An In-Memory High Performance Calculation Engine Anago is a Dutch software company founded in 1999 and is specialised in smart planning solutions. We have developed our own no-code development environment for modelling planning applications. We work for large organisations such as AirFrance KLM, Heineken, UWV, IND and the Ministry of Social Affairs. Examples of planning systems are the long-term planning of a customer contact centre, the scheduling of engine services at KLM and the planning of the asylum seekers chain. Anago Planning applications are modelled using high level building blocks such as data cubes, calculation engines, integrations and views. The result of the application model is a fully working cloud solution. Typically, the planning calculations involve mathematics such as aggregation and allocation, statistical forecasting, various optimisation algorithms and a free model language. Currently, Anago is relying on a multi-dimensional database system that is becoming a bottleneck. We want to replace this technology by developing a new In-Memory High Performance Calculation Engine. The new calculation should support the following: - Automatic Parallel (multithreaded) calculations
We are researching the best ways of handling these challenges. During the lunch lecture we want to introduce you to our world of developing a modelling environment such as Anago and the concepts behind our In-Memory calculation engine. You will learn how a low-code or no-code platform is set up and can be used to create state-of-the-art cloud solutions. The lecture will be given by Fraser Wilson, Software Architect at Anago and Thomas de Nooij, Founder of Anago. Note that we can not guarantee at this moment that we can host this lecture on campus. For the on campus lecture that are only 30 spots available, for which a draw will be held. If you would like to attend on campus, please subscribe Thursday before the lecture takes place.
If you already have experience with GitHub or other platforms that use GIT, you might have wondered what the command line of GIT looks like. A more profound understanding of the underlying commands allows for skills that will not only be useful for working on group projects, but also later in life! That is why TRAIN organizes an Advanced GIT training on March 23rd. During this training, we will dive deeper into the details of git functionalities, as well as exploring more advanced features.
During the training the following topics will be discussed:
The training takes places online from 19:30 until 21:30. The training will be provided by trainer Gert Jan Timmerman from Info Support. Are you interested to hear more about Info Support as a company? Then let us know via the subscription on the GEWIS website.

Wondering how you get into Google? This talk is about the interview process at Google, and how to prepare for it. The host is Sander Alewijnse, who started his job as software engineer at Google London 7 years ago after graduating from the TU Eindhoven and being active at GEWIS. Besides his main job working on various software projects (Android, the Google Play store, Google Fit and Fitbit) he has led plenty of coding interviews and knows all the ins and outs about applying at Google, which this talk will focus on.
This activity is a collaboration of GEWIS and Break the Algo (breakthealgo.com), who will also be hosting mock interview sessions. Here Sander will also be hosting technical mock interviews to prepare you even better for a job application at Google. During the mock interview, you will be asked to write code to solve a given problem and discuss your decisions along the way. Make sure to brush up on your data structures and algorithms before applying for this exciting opportunity here.
Working on a project mostly means writing code, and working on a project in a team means sharing code, which often goes wrong if you send your code via a text file by email. Luckily for us a solution to this problem already exists; the code sharing language GIT. GIT makes coding together a lot easier! Learn how to use GIT at the GitHub beginner training from TRAIN. This training is aimed at students that have no (or little) experience with code sharing platforms, and who would like to learn how to effectively work on code together with their fellow students, at the same time.
We will be using GitHub desktop to explore the basics of GIT during the training. During the training you will learn the following skills:
The training takes places online from 19:30 until 20:30 and you will be able to ask further questions until 21:00. The training will be provided by trainer Gert Jan Timmerman from Info Support. Are you interested to hear more about Info Support as a company? Then let us know via the subscription on the GEWIS website.
