In this paper, the authors proposed a set-theoretic model of the functioning of Smart Manufacturing (SM) system. As part of the work, an analysis of existing scientific works in the subject area was carried out. We focus on the description of the model of SM functioning as a cyber-physical system, as a result of which the physical and informational...

Crossroads are the main traffic jam generators in densely populated cities. Unmanned vehicles and intelligent transportation systems can significantly reduce congestion and improve road safety by eliminating the main cause of traffic accidents—the human factor. However, full confidence in their safety is necessary. This paper addresses the contextu...

The paper considers the problems of cybersecurity for distributed infocommunication networks, related to the violation of the access rights of the executable code of active data to network node resources (shared memory, radio channel reconfiguration, motion control functions, onboard node sensor).

In this article, much attention is paid to pattern recognition quality, especially the visual information semantic integrity preservation. The main purpose is to find the ways of its possible improvement to the three basic stages of the pattern recognition process: image preparation, image processing, and classification. To avoid semantic integrity...
