The purpose of the discipline is to train a specialist who has the tools to substantiate the theoretical foundations of information theory, methods and means of collecting, transmitting and processing information, determining the amount of information in the final object, using stochastic patterns for data compression: Shannon-Fano code, Huffman code, arithmetic code, combinatorial approach to the concept of information, probabilistic approach to the concept of information, has practical skills in modern technologies of information transmission and transformation. After completing the training, the student demonstrates skills in the types and forms of information presentation, the principles of encoding and decoding information, current trends in OS development, the basics of information theory, methods of effective and noise-resistant coding of information, methods of analog-to-digital signal conversion, methods of digital data compression; count the amount of information in messages, encode digital data, apply in research and applied activities, methods of encoding and decoding information.

The purpose of the discipline is to train students in the field of optimization theory for solving engineering problems; to give an idea of the principles and methods of mathematical modeling of operations; to introduce the main types of problems of operations research and methods of their solution for practical application. As a result of studying the discipline, students will receive theoretical and practical skills in the application of alternative analysis in solving single-criteria and multi-criteria optimization problems; methods of constructing mathematical models in solving professional problems.

Creation and application of algorithmic, hardware and software systems for automation, management and control of technological processes and production, ensuring the production of high-quality, safe, competitive products freeing a person completely or partially from direct participation in the processes of obtaining, transforming, transmitting, using and managing production.

The purpose of mastering the discipline is to form the basics of knowledge and skills of students in the automation of technological processes and production, mastering the methods of building functional devices and control systems, regulation and management of technological objects and systems, acquisition by students of skills in engineering methods of object research, control algorithms and programs, checking their operability on a computer. As a result of studying the discipline, students will gain skills in the practical application of a complex of technical means of integrated and distributed systems by technological processes.
