Main Concepts and Principles for Information Technologies Operational Properties Research

Modeling of Information Operations Effects: Technological Systems Example

“…System dynamic capability is a system's ability to perceive its changing goals in its changing environment. This definition is similar to our previous definition of a system's potential and other operational properties of systems and operational properties of information technology usage [5][6][7][8][9]. Other examples of models and methods for the definition and estimation of such properties can be found in [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…Concepts applied during the development of system functioning models with regard to transition actions of the system improvement, and principles applied during conceptual and formal modeling of technological system were defined in [6][7][8][9]. Let us consider general concepts, which require interpretation due to a suggested concept of information operations and corresponding IT application in the context of technological system functioning.…”

Schemas for the analytical estimation of the operational properties of agile systems

“…A. Ryabinin was awarded the USSR State Prize in the field of science and technologies in 1979 for the design and introduction of methods for high reliability and the effectiveness of weapon systems. In the subsequent years, the effectiveness theory was developed in several directions of research that was conducted in the A. F. Mozhaysky Military Space Academy, as well as at the Department of combat effectiveness of Military Space Forces [14] and the Saint Petersburg Institute of Informatics and Automation of the Russian Academy of Sciences >@ &XUUHQWO\ WKH GHYHORSPHQW RI WKH HIIHFWLYHQHVV theory includes researching new operational properties [21] of systems and their operation processes, for example the potential of systems [22] and the efficiency of the application of information technologies [23].…”

“…the best practices (according to operational properties), such as PMBOK, CMMI, BABOK, and BPM, especially regarding the application of IT. The description of a number of foreign studies on operational properties and their comparison with domestic results is presented in [21] and [23] (regarding the study of operational properties of IT). It is important to note that due to the differences in models and methods applied, the Russian School of effectiveness study carries out an estimation of operational properties quantitatively, using analytical models of purposeful functioning, based on natural laws.…”

“…At the same time, the targets and requirements for effects as well as the possibility of obtaining effects are subject to change depending on the operating conditions. The feature of the earlier introduced concepts and principles of OP estimation regarding the improvement of systems and processes of their operation implies, first of all, that such operational properties, as the potential of a system [23], allow for transition actions implemented with changes in system performance, the results of such transition processes, and the results of subsequent operations. Therefore, it becomes possible to estimate OP, taking into account the effects of transition actions, and to solve the mathematical problems mentioned hereinabove.…”
