• N. A. Grusho
• E. E. Timonina

Abstract: Development of digital economy generates new threats of information security. The serious economic damage to small and medium business can put mass inactivation of low protected computers. The paper deals with certain ways to prevent such vulnerabilities. Two approaches of creation of protection against mass inactivation of low protected computers of digital economy are suggested. The first approach is connected with creation of a specialized cloud, providing services of information security. Communication of low protected computers through Internet connection is carried out only through this cloud.
The second approach is based on the idea of virtualization of computers. The special architecture of guest virtual machines is suggested. It is proved that in certain conditions, the proposed solutions prevent mass inactivation of low protected computers of digital economy.

THE SYSTEM OF SCIENTIFIC SERVICES AS A RELEVANT COMPONENT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

• A. A. Zatsarinny
• V.A. Kondrashev
• A. P. Suchkov

Abstract: The successful promotion of digitalization of scientific research is largely due to the possibility of creating an effective system of widely available scientific services. The system of scientific services should support the processes of automated selection of relevant services and implementation of various formal and informal communications of the researcher and the state, scientific community and business. The effectiveness of such a system depends on its completeness and integrity due to the breadth of the coverage of all types of scientific activities by scientific services. A systematic analysis of the methodology of scientific research and the identification on this basis of the whole set of processes that provide it can give the completeness and integrity of the system of scientific services. The article considers the modern model of research processes, defines the range of providing scientific services, and provides the classification of such services.

Keywords: model of research processes; scientific services; system of scientific services

FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE HYBRID INTELLIGENT MULTIAGENT SYSTEM OF HETEROGENEOUS THINKING FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF RESTORING THE DISTRIBUTION POWER GRID

• A. V. Kolesnikov
• S. V. Listopad

Abstract: The problems arising in the operational and dispatching management of regional power grids are characterized by heterogeneity, partial observability of the control object, as well as its dynamic nature, which determines the interdependence of the actions performed and the complexity of correcting erroneous decisions. Traditional abstract-mathematical models are limited and irrelevant to such dynamic environments and, therefore, teams of experts of different specialties are involved but due to the limited time for decision-making, it is not possible to organize comprehensive collective problem solving process.
The new class of intelligent systems that simulate collective decision-making under the guidance of the facilitator, who manages the discussion, namely, hybrid intelligent multiagent systems of heterogeneous thinking, is proposed to solve such problems. The paper deals with the functional structure of such system to solve the problem of restoring the distribution power grid after large-scale accidents.

Keywords: heterogeneous thinking; hybrid intelligent multiagent system; the problem of restoring the distribution power grid

INFORMATIONAL SUPPORT OF THE MULTISCALE MODELING INTEGRATION PLATFORM

• K. K. Abgaryan
• E. S. Gavrilov

Abstract: The article deals with the search for effective solutions in the field of computational materials science which essentially depend on the possibility of conducting a multifactorial analysis of the atomic-crystalline and quantum properties of the new materials for a limited time. For this class of tasks, a multiscale modeling technology is used, which involves the use of distributed computing in high-performance software packages. Without verification of the results of predictive modeling from experimental data, it is not possible to create adequate multiscale models that reflect the essence of real multiscale processes which take place when new materials are received. An important factor in the practical implementation of the presented approaches is the development of multicomponent integrated software systems for information support of multiscale modeling.

A WAY TO ENHANCE THROUGHPUT OF PACKET SWITCHES BUILT ON THE BASIS OF INTEGRATED NETWORK PROCESSORS

• V. B. Egorov

Abstract: Permanent perfection and complication of protocols related to quality of service and network security forces packet switches' creators to shift their preferences from the hardware packet forwarding to soft switching methods and, implementing these methods, to programmable devices with additional network functionality. From this standpoint, network processors represent practically ready to use inexpensive programmable switches realizing the concept of switching on shared memory. Alongside with many merits, this concept has an intrinsic throughput limitation resulting from the memory sharing itself.
A subsystem for buffering network frames and packets, which could be integrated into a network processor, removes this limitation and enables the latter to implement easily a programmable switch with an essentially higher potential throughput and all merits of switching on shared memory preserved.

Keywords: buffering; integrated network processor; packet switching; switching on shared memory

TYPES OF INHOMOGENEITIES IN THE STRUCTURE OF GEODATA GENERALIZATION

• D. A. Nikishin

Abstract: A holistic description of the multilevel structure of the generalization of geodata containing nonuniform information objects is proposed. A typology of relations of information objects of various levels of generalization is presented, in the context of which the formal criterion of the property of generalization reversibility is defined. The typology of inhomogeneities arising from the comparison of certain types of information objects and ways to eliminate them are considered. The criterion of heterogeneity of the structure of generalization and the concept of a segment of homogeneous generalization are introduced. Practical examples of nonuniform generalization in topography are given.

ELECTRONIC CATALOG OF THE LIBRARY FOR NATURAL SCIENCES OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AS A SPECIALIZED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM FOCUSED ON A QUALIFIED USER

• S. A. Vlasova
• N. E. Kalenov

Abstract: The summary catalog of books and continuing editions of the Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LNS RAS) as an example of a fundamentally new approach to creating a library catalog like an information retrieval system is considered. This catalog reflects all the editions that are acquired for collections of more than 50 libraries included in the LNS RAS centralized library system (CLS). In contrast to the majority of Internet catalogs, the LNS RAS catalog allows one to handle almost an unlimited amount of requests that include any elements of bibliographic descriptions and subject classification headings connected by Boolean operators "AND," "OR," and "AND NOT." A user is able to limit the search by the collection of any library, included in CBS of LNS RAS and also to search the books that are available in the full-text electronic version. The search results are presented in the form of advanced bibliographical descriptions and include publications' scanned pages such as title, abstract, and table of contents.

Keywords: electronic catalogs; Internet; bibliographic descriptions; subject headings; network technologies; search requests; information retrieval

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE PROBLEM OF PLANT PROTECTION IN A BIOSYSTEM OF THE TYPE "HARMFUL INSECTS - BENEFICIAL INSECTS" WITH ARBITRARY TROPHIC FUNCTIONS

• R. N. Odinaev

Abstract: When studying the agrocenosis of cotton, the problem arises of a formal description of its structures, i. e., a set of blocks in which the stocks of elements and energy are concentrated, and the flows connecting them within the agrocenosis, carrying out the transfer of matter and energy from the block to the block and, also, studies of stability issues - agrocenosis. The basis of cotton agrocenosis is the crop itself: cotton as a primary product. Due to cotton, a variety of organisms live - phytophages, cotton pests. Pests of cotton include aphids (black alfalfa, melon, and large cotton), scoops (cotton, small ground, and azimic), and spider mite. Pests find in cotton a copious source of food and multiply intensely. The author considers the mathematical problems of point models, i. e., when the population size depends on time. The so-called preparatory task of plant protection is formulated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of preparatory problems of plant protection with arbitrary trophic functions are found.

ALGORITHMIC SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM OF OPTIMAL CONTROL IN A DYNAMIC ONE-SECTOR ECONOMIC MODEL WITH DISCRETE TIME BASED ON THE DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING METHOD

• P. V. Shnurkov
• A. O. Rudak

Abstract: The paper studies a new formulation of the optimal control problem in a dynamic one-sector economic model with discrete time. In the task, the states are the values of the specific capital. The control parameter is the proportion of the specific product produced, directed for investment. The study is based on the dynamic programming method. The Bellman equations for the problem are obtained. The optimality of controls satisfying the Bellman equations is proved. An algorithm was created and described in detail that allows one to solve the Bellman functional equations numerically and to find the optimal control strategy for the problem posed.

Keywords: dynamic programming; optimal control problem; discrete time; Bellman equations; one-sector model of an economic system

CONDITIONAL BOUNDS OF EXPECTED MAXIMA OF RANDOM VARIABLES AND THEIR REACHABILITY

• D. V. Ivanov

Abstract: The subject of this article is the expected maxima of an arbitrary number n of independent and identically distrubuted random variables. Probability distributions with zero mean and variance of 1 and with given value of the expected maximum of m independent random variables of this distribution are taken into consideration. The question of reachability of the boundaries obtained by other authors is investigated. In the cases of failure to derive the answer to this question, the obtained boundaries are specified. The problem might have various applications in queuing theory, insurance, finance, and other fields.

Keywords: expected maximum; reachability

ON COMPUTATIONAL REDUNDANCY OF THE DICHOTOMOUS SEARCH AND CONDITIONAL MINIMIZATION OF UNIMODAL FUNCTIONS BY THE ECONOMICAL DICHOTOMOUS SEARCH

• V. A. Kodnyanko

Abstract: The hypothesis about the computational redundancy of the well- known dichotomous search, applied along with other known numerical methods, in particular, the golden section search, for the conditional minimization of unimodal functions, is discussed. The technique for eliminating the computational redundancy of the method is formulated and on its basis, a method for minimizing such functions, called the economical dichotomous search, is developed. The author developed the algorithms and code that implement the method in Delphi.
The results of a computational experiment are described. They show that the economical method is about 1.5 times more efficient than the classical dichotomous search by a speed determined by the number of calculations of the minimized function. It means that, on average, in three calculations of the function being minimized by dichotomous search, one is redundant. In comparison with the golden section search and the dichotomous search in the average statistical plan, the method is approximately 1.3 and 1.7 times faster, respectively. In other words, the method works as many times faster than the method of the golden section search, as the latter works faster than the classical dichotomous search. This conclusion allows us to take a critical view of the established notion that the dichotomous search is the worst method of cutting off segments. Taking into account the obtained results, the dichotomous search significantly exceeds the speed of the best of them - the golden section search and can reasonably claim to have the leading position in this family of methods.

A PRIORI WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION IN BAYESIAN BALANCE MODELS

• E. N. Arutyunov
• A. A. Kudryavtsev
• A. I. Titova

Abstract: This paper is devoted to Bayesian balance models, which imply separation of factors affecting the system under study, into positive, i.e., contributing to functioning, and negative, i. e., impeding functioning. To study the effectiveness of the system, the balance index, equal to the ratio of negative and positive factors, is concerned. It is assumed that the factors depend on environment, and it is not possible to determine their exact values due to lack of time and material resources, imperfect measuring equipment, etc.; however, the laws governing factors' alterations remain unchanged and are known a priori to the researcher. Under these conditions, it is reasonable to use the Bayesian method, which implies randomization of the initial parameters and, hence, the balance index, under the assumption that a priori distributions of the factors are known. In this paper, the probabilistic characteristics of the balance index in the case when both factors have a priori Weibull distribution are concerned.
This work continues a series of studies on the application of Bayesian methods in problems of mass service and reliability.

Keywords: Bayesian approach; balance models; mixed distributions; Weibull distribution; gamma-exponential function

INFORMATION TRANSFORMATIONS OF PARALLEL TEXTS IN KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION

• A. A. Goncharov
• I. M. Zatsman

Abstract: The paper examines the task of goal-oriented discovery and filling of lacunas in linguistic typologies considered as forms of knowledge representation.
The process of solving this task includes several repeated stages which collectively form one iteration of the proposed solution to the task of goal-oriented knowledge discovery in parallel texts required to fill the lacunas. Parallel texts as an information resource are transformed in the process of solving this task. The purpose of the paper is to describe the types of information transformations of parallel texts that are used during early stages of the process of knowledge discovery and filling of lacunas in linguistic typologies. As a part of knowledge discovery, first, the parallel texts are fragmented into objects of interpretation and then, the search for potential sources of knowledge capable to fill the lacunas is performed. This paper considers this fragmentation process as one of the information transformation types of parallel texts.

Keywords: discovery of lacunas; filling of lacunas; linguistic typology; knowledge extraction from parallel texts; corpus linguistics; objects of interpretation
