From October 15 to 17, 2025, the 34th International Agro-Industrial Exhibition “Agrorus” was held at the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Center in Saint Petersburg, supported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.

As part of the exhibition, researchers from the Saint Petersburg Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPC FRC RAS), together with the Agrophysical Research Institute (AFI), organized a scientific seminar titled “The Role of Scientific Developments in the Effective Development of Agriculture.”

V.V. Zakharov, PhD in Technical Sciences and Senior Researcher at the Laboratory of Information Technologies in System Analysis and Modeling (LITSAM, SPC FRC RAS), delivered a presentation titled “Intelligent Technologies for the Development and Application of an Integrated Automated System for Proactive Monitoring of Agrobiotechnical Objects.”

The report focused on the application of artificial intelligence methods and simulation modeling to improve the efficiency of managing complex agrobiotechnical systems.

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.

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 International Russian Automation Conference (RusAutoCon 2025), presenting a report titled“Automation of Proactive Monitoring Processes of Complex Agrobiotechnical Objects.”

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).

The Laboratory of Information Technologies in System Analysis and Modeling (LITSAM) is expanding its international collaboration. A tripartite agreement has been signed between V.V. Zakharov, Senior Researcher at LITSAM, Zhejiang University of Technology, and Hangzhou Zhanhui Technology Co., Ltd.

Under the agreement, the laboratory researcher will conduct a study titled “Research on Collaborative Scheduling Modeling and Algorithms for Measurement and Computation Operations in Cyber-Physical Systems.”

This partnership opens up new opportunities for joint scientific research in the field of cyber-physical systems and strengthens LITSAM’s position in the international research landscape.

On May 27, 2021, LITSAM researcher Zakharov V.V. successfully defended his PhD dissertation (scientific specialty 05.13.01 – System analysis, management and information processing (technical systems).

The topic of PhD. thesis: “Models and algorithms for planning the functioning and modernization of a corporate information system based on a service-oriented approach”.
