Abstract. The history and perspectives of development of complex organized data structure-ranging analysis methodology – a swiftly developing scientific branch both in Russia and abroad, which emerged from the statistical methods of data processing and pattern recognition methods – are examined. Both theoretical and applied results drawn in this scientific field are described.

Keywords: expert-ranging analysis; automatic classification; optimal parameters grouping; piecewise complicated dependence approximation; hierarchical and combined piecewise approximation; collective conflict-free, structural-hierarchical and correspondence expertise.

Abstract. The development and modern state of the active systems theory – the branch of control theory, taking into consideration the human factor in essential degree, is described. The main results and scientific groups are presented. Keywords: active system, mechanisms of staff and structure management; institutional, motivational, and informational management.

Abstract. The article is devoted to retrospective analysis of research of Institute of Control Sciences in technical means and automation systems development area from 1939 to 2009. The scientists who made a valuable contribution to the area of focus are mentioned. The main attention is drawn to the results of the last decade. We analyze scientific and technical potential of the staff of the laboratories united in the technical means and automation systems’ area.

Keywords: elements, facilities, technical means, automation, control systems, logical control, technical diagnostics, reliability.

Abstract. A number of control problems at different levels of production process are presented. Identification algorithms of technological processes based on the construction of virtual models using functional archives and knowledge base are proposed. An associative search procedure for the construction of virtual models is produced.

Keywords: identification of technological processes, knowledge base, associative search models, soft sensors.

Abstract. In The RAS Institute Of Control Sciences The results obtained at Institute of Control Sciences in the field of intellectualization of control systems are considered. The main attention is given to the methods of decision-making support in ill-structured situations based on cognitive maps. The linear and fuzzy cognitive models are described; analysis of problems for ill-structured situations on the basis of these models are formulated; short characteristics of methods of their solution and the program technologies developed on the basis of these methods are given.

Keywords: decision-making support, ill-structured situations, linear cognitive maps, fuzzy cognitive maps, intellectual technology.

Abstract. Retrospective analysis of theoretical and applied problems and tasks which connected with designing modular computerized management systems for social-economic and organizational institutions is presented. These problems and tasks have been elaborated in Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences (Russian Academy of Sciences) during the last forty years.

Keywords: analysis, synthesis, structure, modularity, real time, information management systems, data base, scenario approach, emergency situation, computerized designing.

Abstract. Some fundamental results that have been drawn in the Institute of Control Sciences of RAS related to the theory and control systems for spacecrafts and airplanes are presented.
