I.T. Kimyaev Spoke at the International Workshop ICCS-DE 2025 in Irkutsk

From July 7 to 11, 2025, the 7th International Workshop “Information, Computation, and Control Systems for Distributed Environments (ICCS-DE 2025)” was held in Irkutsk. The event was organized by the Matrosov Institute for System Dynamics and Control Theory of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISDCT SB RAS) with the support of the CICESE Research Center (Mexico). Traditionally, the workshop brings together researchers and specialists in the fields of control systems, distributed computing, and digital technologies.


I.T. Kimyaev (NorNickel Sputnik LLC, Moscow) took part in the workshop with a presentation titled “Methodology of the Manufacturing Companies Viability Evolutionary Management,” prepared in collaboration with Professor B.V. Sokolov and PhD (Tech.) V.V. Zakharov from the Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPC FRC RAS).

In their presentation, the authors introduced a methodology for the evolutionary management of manufacturing companies’ viability, based on the complexity control approach. The research focuses on enhancing the efficiency of vertically integrated industrial structures through the systematic increase of complexity in information and control system architectures. This approach allows maintaining the necessary level of company viability under changing external conditions.

The proposed framework also describes the gradual evolutionary replacement of operators and technologists—as decision-making agents—with functionally equivalent software and hardware complexes integrated into existing and future production systems.

B.V. Sokolov Presented a Report at the Conference “Industrial Artificial Intelligence — 2025”

From July 3 to 4, 2025, the All-Russian Conference “Industrial Artificial Intelligence” was held in Saint Petersburg. The event was dedicated to the implementation of intelligent technologies, machine learning, and automation in industry and high-tech sectors.

The mission of the conference was to bring together the academic and university communities with industrial companies to discuss current challenges and prospects in the fields of industrial artificial intelligence, intelligent systems, and automation and control technologies.

The conference agenda included the analysis of recent achievements in industrial AI systems, discussions on new methods for managing structurally complex systems, and the creation of a platform for sharing research results and practical experience.

A distinguished Russian scientist, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Boris Vladimirovich Sokolov of the Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPC FRC RAS), took part in the conference and presented a report titled
“Methodology and Technologies for the Automation and Intellectualization of Proactive Control of Complex Systems.”

In his presentation, Professor Sokolov shared the results of research devoted to the development of methodological and technological foundations for automating and enhancing the intelligence of control processes for complex dynamic systems (CDS). The proposed approach is based on the principles of systems analysis, control theory, and operations research, and is aimed at creating universal tools for proactive control that ensure adaptation, self-organization, and sustainable development of information and control systems under conditions of uncertainty and multi-criteria constraints.

Zakharov V.V. spoke at the Conference “Stability and Control Processes. In Memory of Professor V.I. Zubov”

From October 6 to 10, 2025, the 5th International Conference “Stability and Control Processes. In Memory of Professor V.I. Zubov” was held in Saint Petersburg. The conference was dedicated to contemporary issues in control theory, systems analysis, and cybernetics.

The event honors Vladimir Ivanovich Zubov — founder of the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Control Processes at Saint Petersburg State University, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the State Prize, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and Professor who headed the Department of Control Theory from 1967 to 2000. His scientific legacy has had a profound impact on the development of the Russian school of control theory and systems analysis.

Valeriy Vyacheslavovich Zakharov, a researcher at the Laboratory of Information Technologies in System Analysis and Modeling of the Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPC FRC RAS), took part in the conference and presented a report titled “A System-Cybernetic Approach to Describing and Solving Scheduling Theory Problems.”

The research focuses on developing a new approach to solving scheduling theory problems based on the use of models, methods, and algorithms from the theory of control of complex dynamic systems. This approach provides a new perspective on scheduling tasks characterized by high dimensionality, nonstationarity, nonlinear constraints, and multi-criteria conditions — viewing them as control problems for dynamic systems operating in a perturbed external environment.

The proposed solutions aim to improve the efficiency of schedule generation under uncertainty and changing conditions, which is particularly relevant for modern automated and intelligent production systems.

In his presentation, Valeriy Vyacheslavovich introduced an approach to automating proactive monitoring processes of complex agrobiotechnical objects (CABO), aimed at transitioning from reactive to proactive management methods. The proposed methodology enables early detection and prevention of emergency situations in agricultural systems through the use of intelligent control principles, integrated modeling, and invariance between computational and real-world processes.

The research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (Grant No. 24-19-00823).
