The problem of damping of random effects on a mobile platform with a system for monitoring the earth’s surface installed on an unmanned aerial vehicle is considered. As an external influence, we consider the random turbulence of the atmosphere, described with the aid of a shaping filter, to which white noise enters. Monitoring system with a mobile platform is considered as a control system, the criterion of optimality of which is proposed to use the criterion of quality of the stochastic norm of the system, which quantitatively characterizes the sensitivity of the output of the system to random input disturbances whose probabilistic distribution is not known accurately. This leads to a special variant of the stochastic norm-the anisotropic norm. A technique for constructing a robust phase control system using an anisotropic regulator is considered. The coefficients of the optimal regulator are obtained by mathematical modeling. As an example for evaluating the operability of the proposed algorithm, one of the control channels of the mobile platform, defined by a discrete mathematical model of the second order, is considered. Qualitative illustrations of the operability of the proposed algorithm and quantitative characteristics of the change in output signals are presented. The use of anisotropic regulators in damping systems of random effects is promising, since it allows to reduce the influence on the quality of the system operation of uncertainties caused by the differences between the chosen mathematical model and the real optimized system.
The model of sustainable development of the territory should be in a state of control and management. The system of urban monitoring of Ukraine does not fully provide information on the level of sustainable development of settlements and regions. Therefore, it is necessary to create systems for monitoring indicators of sustainable development of human settlements and regions. The objective of this study is to analyze the existing programs for stimulating sustainable development in European countries and to develop recommendations on the need to organize such systems in Ukraine and to improve the system of urban monitoring. The article describes such systems and programs: URBACT is a program for sharing best practices between cities by creating thematic networks.
URBACT’s mission is to encourage cities to work together and develop integrated solutions to common urban problems, through networking, to learn from each other’s experiences and identify best practices in order to improve urban policies;
URBAN AUDIT – a large set of statistical information. The main objective of the system is to provide objective and comparable statistical data on European cities;
URBAN ATLAS – provides a pan-European comparison of urban land use data. The information is in the form of open geospatial data. The system is aimed at facilitating work on site planning and site accounting. It is necessary to adopt the best practices of implementing sustainable development technology and apply it in other countries that have chosen a model for their development – a model for sustainable development of the territory. The current system of town-planning monitoring in Ukraine needs to be improved and given a new task – to take into account indicators of sustainable development of the territories. This system is most suitable for this task, since urban monitoring already takes into account certain indicators in the form of spatial data.

This article proposes a model biotechnical system and exposure control algorithm on the behavior of piglets using machine vision technology. The effective temperature of the indoor air is an indirect indicator of the favourable conditions for keeping animals. In this article, a hypothesis has been put forward: the management of the microclimate in the cattle-breeding premises should be based on direct indicators of the favourableness of the content. This indicator is appropriate to consider the behaviour of animals. Structurally functional schemes for the functioning of the biotechnical system of the cattle-breeding complex have been developed in the IDEF0 notation. An algorithm for controlling the irradiation of piglets and weaners based on the ethological character of the location of animals across the floor area is presented. This problem was not solved before. Algorithms for automatic control of electro technological processes in agriculture have not been encountered in the literature before. The developed principle of intelligent control allows optimal provision of comfortable conditions for keeping animals in real time. The results can be used to create and design of modern automatic climate control systems in livestock.
The solar energy is directly converted into electrical energy by solar PV module. Each type of PV module has its own specific characteristic corresponding to the surrounding condition such as irradiation, and temperature and this makes the tracking of maximum power point (MPP) a complicated problem. To overcome this problem, many maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithms have been presented. Fuzzy logic (FL) has been used for tracking the MPP of PV modules because it has the advantages of being robust, relatively simple to design and does not require the knowledge of an exact model where a mathematical model of the PV module, DC-DC converter, are used in the study of FL based MPPT algorithm. It is suggested to present this problem in the form of two-folds; first to identify the deviation of the power to maximum power point, and secondly, to control the voltage of the DC-DC converter corresponding to maximum power. In this paper, the first discussion approach will stress out the integration of model predictive control in maximum power point tracking MPPT and as progressing a second approach is identified as fuzzy logic controller FLC and perturb & Observe P&O algorithms are analyzed. All are interrelated to MPPT model for a photovoltaic module, PVM, to search for and generate the maximum power; in this case what’s called P-max. As per the first technique the focus is on the optimal duty ratio, D, for a series of multi diverse types of converters and load matching. The design of the MPPT for a stand-alone photovoltaic power generation system is applied where the system will consist of a solar array with nonlinear time varying characteristics, and a converter with appropriate filters. The integration of model predictive control will be addressed first in this paper. The second fold will implement an MPPT system that use the FLC and compare it with a classical MPPT P&O algorithm through the utilization of Simulink. The novel design in the FLC will be based on the use of asymmetrical membership functions to compensate for the asymmetrical P-V curve of solar panel.

The purpose of this work is to create an automated system for recording the availability and use of natural resources in the Republic of Belarus. To achieve this goal, the following main tasks were solved: to conduct an analytical review of similar information systems, to highlight their advantages and disadvantages, to develop a new improved version of the system, taking into account previous experience of use, to test the received tool for assessing the environmental friendliness of nature-intensive production and technology. The article provides an analytical review of modern software tools for automation of accounting and rational use of natural resources. It is shown that their application is not possible for a qualitative solution of urgent problems in our country. Three versions of the automated system designed for collecting, storing, processing and presenting subject data on the availability and use of natural resources are consistently described. Comparative analysis with existing analogs is carried out. The distinctive features and advantages of the proposed solution are indicated.

Information security
Further development of cryptographic algorithms based on the principles of many-valued logic requires more accurate research of non-binary cryptographic primitives – S-boxes. One of the most promising constructions for the synthesis of S-boxes is the Nyberg construction, which ensures high quality of the designed S-boxes in the binary case. The disadvantage of the Nyberg construction is the small cardinality of the classes of the constructed S-boxes. Nevertheless, this disadvantage can be overcome by considering all the isomorphic representations of the main field, substantially expanding the choice of available high-quality S-boxes. The research carried out in this paper has shown that the advantages of the Nyberg construction can be easily transferred to a many-valued case. Thus, we construct complete sets of S-boxes of the Nyberg construction over all isomorphic representations of fields GF(pᵏ), р = 3,5, and research their nonlinear characteristics. As a criterion of nonlinearity, we measure the distances from the component many-valued functions to the set of Vilenkin–Chrestenson functions that are considered to be the most linear. The correlation coefficients of the output and input vectors of the obtained S-boxes are calculated. The researches performed have shown the high quality of the constructed cryptographic primitives and allow recommendation of them for use in cryptoalgorithms based on the principles of many-valued logic.
The problem of finding the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices in a weighted directed graph is considered. The algorithms of Dijkstra and Floyd-Warshall, homogeneous block and parallel algorithms and other algorithms of solving this problem are known. A new heterogeneous block algorithm is proposed which considers various types of blocks and takes into account the shared hierarchical memory organization and multi-core processors for calculating each type of block. The proposed heterogeneous block computing algorithms are compared with the generally accepted homogeneous universal block calculation algorithm at theoretical and experimental levels. The main emphasis is on using the nature of the heterogeneity, the interaction of blocks during computation and the variation in block size, the size of the block matrix and the total number of blocks in order to identify the possibility of reducing the amount of computation performed during the calculation of the block, reducing the activity of the processor’s cache memory and determining the influence of the calculation time of each block type on the total execution time of the heterogeneous block algorithm. A recurrent resynchronized algorithm for calculating the diagonal block (D0) is proposed, which improves the use of the processor’s cache and reduces the number of iterations up to 3 times that are necessary to calculate the diagonal block, which implies the acceleration in calculating the diagonal block up to 60%. For more efficient work with the cache memory, variants of permutation of the basic loops k-i-j in the algorithms of calculating the blocks of the cross (C1 and C2) and the updated blocks (U3) are proposed. These permutations in combination with the proposed algorithm for calculating the diagonal block reduce the total runtime of the heterogeneous block algorithm to 13% on average against the homogeneous block algorithm.
Research application of DLP-system for protection of confidential information, a methodology for adapting the DLP-system to the specific activities of the organization, comparative analysis of the results of standard and adapted DLP-systems in the Bank. Developed: a technique for analyzing information security events, algorithm for responding to identified events, methodology and procedures for adapting the standard DLP-system to the specifics of the Bank’s activities. The methodology for adapting a standard DLP-system to the specifics of the Bank’s work consists of the following activities: identification of critical corporate information categories, audit of information systems, description of current risks and their assessment, introduction of rules for Bank’s critical information and setting up a DLP system in accordance with the specifics of the Bank’s work. Modernization of the configuration of a standard DLP-system includes the following procedures: selection of confidential information of the Bank based on membership criteria, setting up detection, creating perimeters and developing an algorithm for responding to identified information security events in the Bank. The algorithm is designed to improve the efficiency of the response of information security officers in cases of incident detection and describes the stages of the subsequent actions. The results of the research prove that using an adapted DLP-system significantly reduces the number of false positives, increasing the accuracy of detecting confidential information and reducing the risk of leakage of critical information outside the corporate network. The application of the adapted DLP-system in the Bank allowed to increase the speed of response of information security specialists to the information security events detected by the DLP-system adapted to the Bank, and also allowed the DLP-system to transition from the copy mode to the blocking mode of illegitimate transfer of information.
