The task of calculating insurance company risk and ability parameters in case when the spare capital is invested with transmitting a portion of risk to reinsurer implies searching numeral multiple-choice integral and differential equations solution. Insurance Company Ability Analysis software package was developed to support this task. Functional shape and usability features of the package are described with a help of illustrating applications.

The problem of a disturbance index calculation is discussed. This index movement data may be used to estimate various effects that influence equity market and provide the prediction models constructing process with useful additional infor¬mation. The method suggested makes it possible to form a learning sample in such a way that enables an analyst to apply at most his/her knowledge and experience for neuron networks explor¬ing.

Contained the material about the domestic programming product by 1C Company for development of registration and management systems. There are some facts from the growth history in, and the analysis of the success factors of the 1C: Enterprise's sales promotion. Detached examined the preferences of the modern version in the security questions. Also, there is description of the trends, which has been noted by author in the course of adoption this products in Moscow organizations.

General problems of preliminary resource estimation in small original software project are examined in the article. Capabilities and limitations of software project preliminary estimation methods recognized by Russian and international standards (functional points and COCOMO II) are discussed. The results of applying these methods for estimation real software project are given. Also typical Russian risks of software products are fixed and an approach to estimation of identified risks influence on project budget is examined.

The article presents some results of economic research in the field of information systems development. The most actual and demanded software development methodologies in the market of IT-services are briefly described and the analysis of techniques estimation on the basis of these methodologies is carried out. Labor and software costs estimation tasks are considered using Func¬tional Point model and COCOMO II (Constructive Cost Model).

The concept of lending enterprise informational and analytical environment is used to account management system development. The system requirements and the most significant implementation problems are analyzed following by considerations of possible solutions which assume banking processes automation level improvement.

Cloud computing features and development directions are considered. The underlying concept means that data are stored on and handled by Internet provider server as opposed to user computer. The issues of payment facilities and variety of services proposed, software and hardware implementation tools, service accessibility, security and compatibility with existing applications as well as the main approaches for the technology standards elaboration are discussed

An iterative process of information exchange protocols development is suggested. Protocol visual modeling, protocol mathematical model analysis and protocol application analysis are the main stages of the process. Yanus protocol analyzer that implements extended SPI-calculus methods and IKAM network software package are presented.

The problems of information security management in contemporary corporative information systems are reviewed. An application of risk assessment is considered as an instrument of information system security analysis.

It is necessary to take into account contemporary conditions during the study of this problem. High significance and scanty practical elaboration of Investment management in manufacture processes problem determine indubitable novelty of this research.

Different automated information system classification schemes and management automation industry development history in various application fields are considered. A hierarchical definition of the term 'Information System' originated from system analyses theory and four strata information system structure concept are suggested. An example of applying the introduced approach to multilevel information system description is presented.

Communication systems developing and services networking contributed to operations research progress in two ways. From one hand a number of economic processes simulation systems (e.g., Actor Pilgrim) appeared. From another hand queuing theory models and techniques were elaborated. The article deals with stochastic models of queuing networks.

The notion and essence of innovative infrastructure in conjunction with the national innovative system are formulated and analyzed. Foundation problems and general development directions regarding innovative infrastructure meaning for Russian economic growth originated from innovations are investigated. Innovative information and education systems value for innovative managers training is emphasized.
