Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IASA)

The Institute trains specialists in IT and systems analysis. Graduates are able to design computer systems for decision making and process control in macroeconomic, technical, physical and environmental systems.

IASA has 2 areas of training:

"System Analysis"

Graduates will learn:

carry out a comprehensive analysis,

use decision-making technologies in complex systems of different nature,

use modern information technologies and computer technology for the construction and maintenance of computerized information systems in various fields of science and the national economy,

using mathematical methods and software (C, C ++, Java, databases) to solve problems in various fields of science, technology, finance, socio-economic and political spheres.

What is computer engineering

The direction of training includes 2 specialties:

Systems analysis and management - economic, financial, social, political, technical, administrative, ecological complex systems, modeling methods, optimization methods and operations research, methods of continuous development, forecasting and risk techniques, management theory and decision making, theory of games and conflicts, expert assessment.

Decision-making systems and methods - the basics of systems mathematics, decision-making methods in conflict conditions, methods for modeling complex networks, methods for analyzing hierarchies in DSS, fuzzy models and methods in DSS, base networks and decision trees in DSS.

"Computer science"

Graduates will learn to create:

new objects and technologies of the built environment,

mathematical models,

information processing automation tools,

software and hardware computer systems and networks, databases, information security tools,

distributed computer systems and networks,

expert systems,

semantic web and grid networks,

methods of parallel data processing,

data virtualization methods.

The direction of training includes 3 specialties:

Artificial intelligence systems - development and implementation of intelligent technologies and systems in the field of economics and finance, development and application of pattern recognition and classification systems in various fields of industry, implementation of data mining and knowledge analysis methods in economics and finance, design and implementation of intelligent adoption support systems solutions in economics, business and finance.

Information technology design - computer design in the Internet information environment, design of network multimedia, computer design tools for engineering objects and socio-economic systems, custom-made computer-aided design systems.

System design - building an intelligent environment, researching complex systems and processes, collecting and analyzing data, building data processing tools. Research objects: distributed computer systems, web and grid networks, space, biological and environmental objects, business processes.

Dima, IASA:

There are two main areas at IASA: systems analysis and systems design.

A lot of mathematics is taught on  systems analysis - both fundamental, like matan and functional analysis, and applied: statistics, random processes, numerical methods, etc. IT disciplines are far from basic, rather auxiliary. Students learn to program by doing labs in other courses, such as optimization, system analysis. IT courses are often easy to surrender, the requirements there are not as high as those of mathematicians and applied specialists.

On the stream of systems engineering, it is approximately the same, only the mathematician is less. But there are courses related to microelectronics.

It's hard to say who is being taught at IASA. Formally, specialists in the field of complex technical and financial systems, but the applied side of education is clearly inferior to the theoretical one. Actually, this is the case everywhere, so the university does not give any practical experience.

In the first two courses, half of the students are expelled from IASA, if not more. Those who stay are already trained to learn quickly and cope with difficult stressful situations. Graduates work mainly in finance, business, media and IT as various analysts, marketers, managers, developers, testers. "

Andrey, IASA:

The main thing is that there are 2 departments: MMSA (mathematical methods of system analysis) and SP (system design). There are 2 specialties at the department of MMSA: system analysis and  computer science . At the joint venture - only computer science.

Both computer science and systems analysis focus on the study of complex systems. However, the main goal of systems analysis is to make decisions based on mathematical research methods. The main goal of computer science is the use of computer tools to solve research or design problems.
