# Matthew Warkentin - **R and OpenM++ for Microsimulation**

- Presenting author: Matthew Warkentin (University of Calgary)

- Authors: Matt Warkentin

- Topic: Microsimulation modeling platforms

OpenM++ is a powerful open-source platform for deploying microsimulation models at any scale. R is a powerful statistical language for data science, modelling, and data visualization. The harmony of R and OpenM++ provides a seamless interface to inspect, configure, and run microsimulation models and easily retrieve outputs/results for further processing, exploration, visualization, and reporting.
