Amalgama participated in the Winter Simulation Conference 2012 — the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers, and vendors working in all disciplines in industry, service, government, military and academic sectors. This conference has been traditionally held in the USA since 1968, but in 2012 it was held in Berlin, Germany.
