Fields of study: development, implementation and exploitation of software for different pur-poses
Language of instruction: Russian, English (on request)

DESCRIPTION

The programme provides Bachelor’s degree students with deep theoretical knowledge in the field of creating mathematical and algorithmical models. Students study programmes, programme systems and complexes, methods for their design and implementation, methods of producing, maintaining, exploiting and administering in different spheres. They get knowledge on simulation models of complex processes of computation and information processes control and administration.

Forms of in-class activity: lectures, laboratory classes, seminars, review sessions, students’ individual work, research work, practice.

AIMS

research activity:
•    developing new spheres and ways of exploiting computing technologies (CT) and auto-mated systems (AS) in information systems and networks;
design and engineering activity:
•    creating and implementing tools of information systems mathematical support;
•    developing software and methods of information systems and networks (including global ones) administration;
•    developing software for CT and AS;

organizational and management activity:
•    participating and organizing work connected with creating and implementing information systems mathematical support;

exploitation and management activity:
•    maintaining and administering information systems and networks (including global ones).
