Biography:
Dr. Sc., Professor, a professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at the Moscow State University, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Research interests: architecture of multiprocessor computing systems, formal models of parallel computing, methods and tools for specification and verification of program behavior, modeling, analysis of functioning, synthesis and adaptation of multiprocessor computing systems, real-time systems.

Abstract:
Currently the computing infrastructure is
moving from the “create it by yourself” concept to the “get as a service”
concept. The former one assume you don't need to buy and develop by your own
computing infrastructure, rent channels to connect to a public network, or hire
expensive specialists for system and network administration. In the new
paradigm, resources and services can be requested and received as you need. The
emergence of new technologies for virtualization of computing resources,
software-defined networks and virtualization of network functions have opened
up new opportunities for the development of data processing centers (DС). Now it's not so important how many servers and
racks are in DC. What is really important are the latency of request processing
and how efficiently we can map virtual resources to physical ones in DC. The
presentation considers the functional architecture of the NPC, the role and
place of multi-agent optimization methods in managing data flows and
distributing the computational load in the NPC, presents a list and statements
of the main tasks.

Abstract:
Many
emerging applications such as Virtual Reality, online gaming, and Factory
Automation require low latencies and consistently high data rates. This problem becomes a challenge in Wi-Fi
networks because of random access and interference. Nevertheless, the
developers of Wi-Fi 8 are going to solve it and provide the required quality of
service in the vast range of scenarios. In the talk, we will discuss possible
approaches for that and open issues.

The main attention is paid to the implementation of the following modern trends in the development of professional UHF radio equipment:
- the use of modern types of modulation and error-correcting coding in adaptive modes of operation;
- structure of UHF transceivers based on "software-defined radio" (SDR) technology;
- organization of decentralized self-organizing mesh radio networks, where each terminal simultaneously performs the functions of a transceiver, repeater and router;
- ensuring the required reliability of information exchange in a complex interference environment, including when exposed to electronic warfare.

Abstract:
The development of unmanned aircraft has been progressing at a rapid pace in recent years. Today, the development of autonomous navigation systems in the absence of GPS and GLONAS signals is relevant. Among the most common methods of autonomous navigation are acoustic, optical, methods using machine vision, and magnetic.
Employees of the IPU RAS have proposed a hybrid system for local navigation of a tethered high-altitude platform, which includes a radar subsystem and a subsystem based on computer vision. The radar subsystem is designed for the 60 GHz range, providing stable tracking of a high-altitude platform and high noise immunity

Abstract:
This work considers Terahertz (THz) drone communications by applying various resource allocation schemes with practical THz antennas within the frequency range of 0.75-4.4 THz under realistic mobility and misalignment scenarios, ensuring a more accurate representation of real-world conditions. Through numerical simulations, we unveil the real capacity achievable within the realm of Tbps up to 100 meters range, when drones are in motion and subject to alignment and moderate misalignment. However, when exposed to actual mobility traces, the performance of all resource allocation schemes experiences a significant drop, sometimes up to six orders of magnitude, due to occasional reverse orientations of antennas. Consequently, the need arises for active beam control solutions to maintain the performance of THz drone networks. These findings highlight both the significant strides made in THz technology and the remaining challenges for the integration of THz band drones into the fabric of 6G networks.
