History
The first version of SimulTrain was released in 1996. This educational software has been constantly improved. In October 2012 the 9th version of SimulTrain was released.
The project management simulation SimulTrain is based on Dr. Roland Sauter‘s PhD thesis La modélisation des facteurs humains dans la gestion de projets. (1996). A model of human factors in project management was validated by a survey of 900 project managers. In 1996 the simulator was developed based on this model.
The first version ran on Macintosh. Since then a new version with numerous new features was released regularly every two years. Version 9 released in October 2012 runs on various operating systems (Windows, Macintosh, Linux) and is available both as online version and desktop version.
By 2012 over 100,000 people across 50 countries, have been trained with SimulTrain. The simulation has been translated into 21 languages.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!
There are only two great currents in the history of mankind: the baseness which makes conservatives and the envy which makes revolutionaries.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
