Scientific work at IIDE departments focuses on the application of information technologies, open source software for educational purposes, control and process automation theory, under the guidance of doctors of technical sciences, professors Golikova V.F. and Lobaty A.A.
Within the framework of the VIII International Research and Practice Conference "Science for education, industry and economics" two sections of "Information systems and technologies" and ‘Information technologies for management’ Departments were formed.
In 2010, the Council on Thesis for PhD in the field of "System analysis, Management and Information Processing", "Automation and Control of Technological Processes and Production", the international electronic research journal "Information and Communication Technologies in Engineering Education" started on the site of IIDE.
The teaching staff issued 93 publications, including 8 text-books, 31 articles in scientific journals and 33 scientific conference theses.
IIDE was the basic unit of the BNTU for the functioning of the Council for the defense of dissertations K 02.05.01. The Council was created in accordance with the order of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Republic of Belarus No. 76-s dated 07.06.2010. Council K 02.05.01 - the only one among related councils in these specialties (BNTU, BSU, OIPI, BSUIR) was focused on the consideration of dissertations on information technology in industries and engineering.
The Council defended dissertations for the degree of candidate of sciences in the field of industry and engineering:
- 05.13.01 - System analysis, management and information processing;
- 05.13.06 - Automation and control of technological processes and production.
The council consisted of 9 doctors of sciences (including one academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus) and 3 candidates of sciences.
During the reporting period from 2011 to 2015, 15 defenses were carried out (12 - on 05.13.01 and 3 - on 05.13.06).
Under the influence of the work of the council, by 02.05.01, the number of graduate students in the specialties of the council increased by about three times in BNTU (up to 30 people), 2 people applied to the doctorate of BNTU, the magazine System Analysis and Applied Informatics included in the list of the Higher Attestation Commission began to appear. The editorial board includes well-known scientists from Belarus, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Poland and Sweden. The journal is included in the list of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, RSCI and other international citation systems.
Currently, the term of work of the council K 02.05.01 has expired. But work is underway to transform the candidate council into a doctoral one. For this, there are all the necessary conditions (the presence in the BNTU of specialists - doctors of sciences, doctoral studies, applicants, etc.).
IIDE organizes and conducts an international scientific and technical Internet conference. The chairman of the organizing committee is a Associate Professor, Doctor of Science (Engineering), Sergei V. Kharytonchyk.
157 participants took part in the 6th IIDE conference (2018) and made presentations, including citizens of the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and China.
Among the conference participants are undergraduates, graduate students and employees of IIDE.
Conference materials are stored in the repository of the Scientific library of BNTU.
