The implementation of the situational control concept of information security in automated training systems by A. M. Chernih, S. V. Fedoseev

“…Developed method of situational control of information security in automated learning systems, involves the participation of the operator in the development and decision-making (dialogue procedures statement of objectives situational control, the formation of the base of alternative sets of control actions, etc.).Another important feature of this technique is the necessity of using previously developed models (models of decision-making situation, a model of coordination and planning of operation of a subsystem of the control and protection of information, models of information processing about the status of the subsystem analysis models and evaluation of results) and the database obtained on the basis of operating experience of information protection systems in the automated learning systems.The implementation of the concept of situational control of information security ensures the timely adaptation of the algorithms and parameters of the information security system to changes in the external environment and the nature of tasks within the education systems and on this basis allows to improve the characteristics of the information protection system in the automated learning systems.…”

MODEL OF GEOMEDIA CONTAINING DEFECTS: COLLECTIVE EFFECTS OF DEFECTS EVOLUTION DURING FORMATION OF POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE FOCI by I. A. Panteleev, O. A. Plekhov, O. B. Naimark

“…The authors introduce ‘tensor structural’ variables associated with two specific types of defects, fractures and localized shear faults (Fig. 1). Based on the procedure for averaging of the structural variables by statistical ensembles of defects, a self-consistency equation is developed; it determines the dependence of the macroscopic tensor of defects-induced strain on values of external stresses, the original pattern and interaction of defects. …”
