| description | March 10 marked the 95th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding scientist and associate of Viktor Mikhailovich Glushkov, Academician Volodymyr Serhiyovych Mikhalevich.
Volodymyr Serhiyovych graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Taras Shevchenko Kyiv State University and completed postgraduate studies. In 1956, he defended his candidate's thesis on the topic "Application of Bayesian procedures for sequential decision-making in statistical control problems". From 1955 to 1958, he worked as a senior lecturer at the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of this university, where he taught new courses of lectures on game theory and sequential statistical analysis at that time.
In 1958, V.M. Glushkov suggested to V.S. Mikhalevich to head the department of specialists in probability theory and mathematical statistics at the Computing Center of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR to carry out scientific work on the reliability of electronic devices and operations research.
In 1960, the Department of Automated Production Control Systems was organized at the Computing Center, headed by V.S. Mikhalevich. Soon the department was renamed the Department of Economic Cybernetics, the main areas of work of which were the theory and practical problems of optimal planning, operations research, design of complex objects and systems, automation of processes in production and transport.
The theoretical basis for finding optimal solutions was the "Method of sequential analysis of variants", developed by V.S. Mikhalevich. This method was used to solve the problems of optimal design of the longitudinal profile of railways, electric and gas networks, finding the shortest paths on graphs, the critical path in network planning problems, modeling and automation of processes in transport, and others. Later, this method was developed, supplemented, and modified by the followers of Volodymyr Sergiyovich. This was the beginning of the school of optimization of V.S. Mikhalevich.
Later, the department carried out many research projects and developed methods for solving various types of optimization problems. In general, scientific projects can be grouped into the following areas: development of transport networks and transportation; optimization of production; use of optimization in the design and construction of railways; modeling of the systemic development of civil aviation; placement problems; optimization theory; development of optimization program packages; other scientific areas.
Volodymyr Serhiyovych was the head of the Department of Economic Cybernetics for 34 years. He made a significant contribution to the development of the Institute of Cybernetics and its transformation into a world-renowned scientific center both as the head of the department, as the deputy director for scientific work, and as the director of the V.M. Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics. |
