The analysis of the problems arising while creating new information technologies for forecasting
economic processes of financial bubbles controls based on simulation models is carried out. The need
to develop such technologies is caused by the growing influence of financial bubbles in the economy,
primarily digital, which use artificial intelligence and the Internet utilizing raw data. The proposed information
technology is justified by theoretically grounded models as well as decision-making methods
and techniques. The proposed approach is based on the theory of equilibrium random processes
and nowadays approaches for measuring and managing financial bubbles are suggested. In particular
complex simulation model of economic agents based on technology of an evolutionary-simulation
model approach is introduced. This approach provides the framework within which a set of interconnected
simulation models and algorithms for optimizing the risks in the dialogue mode is used. To calculate
a financial bubble share an indicator SFB (share of financial bubble) that measures the share of
the secured portion in the nominal value of a currency or security is suggested. This indicator can be
used as a basis for information technology for managing financial bubbles. Finally, some solutions of
the current Russia economic problems based on financial bubbles control are considered.

The work is devoted to the analysis of the modern market of mobile applications for business. The purpose
of this study is to identify promising technologies for developing mobile applications for business, to study
the directions for the development of mobile business applications. For this, the state of the market at the moment,
its development and prospects were considered. The analysis of the dynamics of the development of
the Russian and global market of mobile business applications has been carried out, the most significant developments
in this field today have been considered. The main advantages and disadvantages of existing solutions
are identified. According to the results of the analysis, a universal approach was proposed that allows
the use of mobile applications in conjunction with desktop information systems to improve overall business
performance. The demand for this study lies in the fact that currently there is an active digitization of society,
increasing the mobility of members of society, as well as the need for new and modern technological solutions.
The scientific novelty of the work is to justify a new approach to the development of mobile applications

The purpose of the article is to provide the reader with general information about the capabilities
and interrelationships of the program modules that are part of the «Orders» system, developed and
implemented at the National Research University «Moscow Power Engineering Institute» (MPEI), to
automate the preparation and approval of orders. The text refers to the growth of the russian market
of electronic document management systems (EDMS), as well as an increase in the interest of universities
in the solutions of such a plan. The examples of the most popular EDMS and projects of their
implementation are given. The references to examples of universities own developments as applied to
the problem of electronic document circulation are given. The workflow specifics of orders are noted,
consisting in the need to automatically generate the text of the document, and after coordination to update
the related data in the information systems (IS) of the enterprise. These features make it difficult
to use the «boxed» EDMS presented on the modern market. As a solution to the problem, the software
system «Orders» and its constituent modules are considered: template editor, route editor, order editor.
The template editor is used to create templates for order paragraphs, the description of which includes
components (text template), parameters (user-defined fields), executors (instructions for updating
data), and operations (auxiliary functions). The route editor provides the formation of valid routes
for order coordination. The order editor uses the prepared templates and routes, dynamically forms
the user interface for entering parameters, allows to generate an order text and to pass an order along
the route, and executes instructions that make changes to the IS according of the order. Separate copies
of the presented solution cover three IS functioning in MPEI for several years. This fact confirms
the theoretical and practical significance of the developed mechanisms.

An approach to the construction of a technological scheme, data base and application support for
organizing the processes for inventory and cataloging of the book fund as well as for managing use
of the fund items is proposed. There are situations occurring in real life where some practical conditions
may affect applicability of the methods commonly used for solving the underlying tasks. One
of the restrictions deals with a situation when the fund owners need to developing bibliographic description
of their library books written on different languages assume participation of external experts
with knowledge of the language of publications. The proposed technology options for the implementation
of this task complemented by a description of the principles of building an application that meet
the established requirements provide the necessary support for the work of specialists involved in the
preparation of the filing cabinet and further work with the reader contingent. Although the principles
described in the paper were realized on MS Access they should be generally valid for other platforms.

Algorithms of visualization of numerical data characterizing the state of objects and systems of various
nature with the aim of finding hidden patterns in them using convolutional neural networks are presented.
The algorithms used methods for obtaining images from numerical data on the basis of the discrete
Fourier transform of time series fragments, as well as on the basis of the application of visualization
using three-component system diagrams, if such a three-component representation of the system is
possible. The software implementation of the proposed algorithms was performed in the Linux environment
in the Python 3 language using the Keras open neural network library, which is a superstructure
above the TensorFlow machine learning framework. For the learning process of the neural network, a
Nvidia graphics processor was used that supports the technology of the CUDA parallel computing software
and hardware architecture, which significantly reduced the learning time. The proposed approach
is the recognition States of the objects according to their visualized data are based on the recognition of
no boundaries or forms of the figures in the images and their textures. Also presented is a program that
generates sets of images to implement the process of learning and testing convolutional neural networks
in order to pre-tune them and assess the quality of the proposed algorithms.Keywords: Internet, Internet

The article describes the problems of scheduling systems development. The authors demonstrate complexity
of feasible schedules generation for comprehensive technological databases. The study concluded that
the task belongs to the class of non-polynomial complexity. The article formalizes the task to plan as a single
mathematical model. Particular emphasis was placed on the fact that the mathematical model should have
the property of practical problem solving. The main task is to minimize the project development time, and
the main goal is to uniform loading of each resource in a complex system. This article proves that exact solution
of mathematical optimization is not effective since it demands huge amount of computational resources.
Authors demonstrate that genetic algorithm implementation allows to find approximate feasible solution. The
authors concluded that it is acceptable to use hybrid algorithms to solve the problem. It is proposed to use
heuristic methods to further improve the resulted mathematical model. Article also demonstrates how these
modules are integrated into technological data visualization systems developed by them. The PrPlan software
package allows interacting with existing systems in the enterprise and includes process data uploading interfaces.
It can group process operations of the same type and ensure generation of technological solutions based
on prototypes. The developed mathematical model and software will significantly optimize the technological
processes in production and ensure a high level of stability in the performance of each operation. It enforces
a significant economic growth and increase the efficiency of the enterprise in general. The developed mathematical
model was successfully tested in practice in the developed PrPlan software package. Additional optimizations
that can be implemented in the model can be equally well made in the algorithm of the software
system. This will allow us to make changes quickly, without disturbing existing processes.

The article discusses the design of a neural network system to determine the position of a source
of information signals. Determining the coordinates of an unknown source is an important procedure
in improving the efficiency of wireless electronic communications systems. Solving the problem requires
overcoming a number of difficulties associated with the optimal reception of signals from
sources, placement of elements of information transmission systems, and relative complexity of the
meter, which includes means for converting incoming signals. The method of information processing
is based on the use of systems having a variety of spaced reception points organized as a complex of
receivers for remote data transmission. After passing through the group of functional blocks, the preprocessed
signal from each receiver enters the computational module, which is based on a heterogeneous
neural network. The neurocontroller is made of three types of neural blocks forming a threelayer
neural network structure. The first layer is composed of oscillator neurons to maintain the constant
functioning of two other types of neurons, the organization of which requires constant stimulation
for the functioning of the entire network. The second type and third type neural network modules
are designed as signal processing devices adding and cutting off harmonic components. The substantiation
of the applied learning algorithm is performed and the effectiveness of the designed neural network
information processing system is shown.

The article characterizes and interprets the concepts introduced in the theory of the information
field A.Denisov and the discrete version of this theory, which name– the informational approach to the analysis of systems: sensual information (perception information, element base, data), logical information
(essence or information potential) and their logical intersection, which in theory A.Denisov
corresponds to the category of information complexity, content, meaning. It is shown how these concepts
arose in the theory of the information field as a result of two laws of reflection — sensory and
logical, as they are interpreted in a discrete version of the theory. It is considered how the reflection of
objects or processes goes through several stages. During their passage, the term “information” is used
all the time, but until a more specific name of the perceived and / or transformed essence corresponding
to a particular decision–making process is found. Understanding this process makes the available
measures of information possible to more accurately use, as well as the mating terms “data (J) – concepts
(H) –knowledge (C)”. Such approach allows to determine the measures which can be entered for
measurement of the selected stages of information transformation based on deterministic and probabilistic
approaches, choosing them taking into account specific objectives and the conditions of application
of the theory of A.Denisov.

Lately, more and more people are talking about the introduction of neural networks, artificial intelligence
systems, and machine learning into various spheres of human activity. This involves new
projects such as unmanned vehicles, DNA sequence decryption programs, vacuum cleaning robots,
spacecraft robots, robots for functioning in harmful environments, human speech recognition systems,
and human speech synthesis. But most often manufacturers of smartphones talk about using artificial
intelligence in their new products.
Currently, many smartphone manufacturers compete with each other in the market for goods and
services, fighting for customers, seeking to draw attention to their products; they are conducting advertising
campaigns in which they claim that their products have artificial intelligence.
A processor with a neuromorphic module emulating artificial intelligence functions allows machine
learning to be used and makes the smartphone as responsive as possible to user habits. A neuromorphic
module can predict which applications the user will soon need, loading them into memory in advance
and optimizing their work. That is, the advertised artificial intelligence is reduced only to setting
up the user's habits using neural-like devices — neural networks.
Now most of the portable devices that use machine learning, have a lack of capacity to run artificial
intelligence programs, so they resort to using cloud servers. But the use of artificial intelligence
programs that work autonomously can significantly improve the performance of smartphones, reduce
the time delay between the user's request and the device's response to this request.

In modern conditions of blurring the boundaries between the virtual and the real world, as well as
the transition of virtual threats into reality, the issues of user security on the Internet are becoming increasingly
important. This is especially true for children and adolescents who are at high risk because
of their young age, lack of skills in safe behavior on the Internet, and lack of understanding of what
moral and/or physical harm this or that information can cause. Therefore, parental control applications
that extend and complement the capabilities of information security tools on the user's devices
are in increasing demand. Basically, such applications provide: monitoring and limiting time of operation of the device, monitoring and restricting access to sites (by age restrictions, by type of sites, by
forbidden words, black or white lists) and applications on the device, tracking the user's movements
(for mobile devices), monitoring online, generation of various reports and statistics on the use of the
device and Internet resources, remote control of the device. The article provides a comparative analysis
of such applications, discusses the functional features of some of them, provides recommendations
for the selection of parental control applications based on user requests, as well as determines
the prospects for their development.
