Currently the Institute is the only one scientific institution in the North-West region of Russia that does basic research in information technologies and automation. Since February, 1991 and at present Professor Rafael M. Yusupov, Correspond- ing Member of RAS is the head of the Institute. Based on LRCC one of the first global computer and information net- works in the country the Academic Network “North-West” was created. In 1985 LRCC was transformed into Leningrad Institute for Informatics and Automation of the USSR Academy of Sciences. By 1991 the Institute grew into a large scientific research organization, and its several departments gave rise to a new institution of the Academy of Sciences: Center of Ecologic Security of the St. Petersburg Scientific Re- search Center of RAS. In 1992 when historic name of St. Petersburg was returned to the city the Institute in turn was renamed in St. Petersburg Insti- tute for Informatics and Automation of RAS (SPIIRAS). According to the Decree of the Russian Federation Government dated 12/30/ 2013 #2591-p the Institute was handed over to the RF Federal Agency for Scientific Or- ganisations (FASO Russia). The Russian Academy of Sciences provides for the scientific and methodological guidance in regard to the Institute research activities. The Institute official name is St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPIIRAS). The Institute purpose and object of activities are to do basic, predis- covery and applied scientific research aimed at the acquisition of new knowledge in the area of informatics and automation, control methods and information and telecommunication technologies applicable to solving actu- al scientific and engineering as well as social and economic problems, in- cluding those of interdisciplinary nature. In its basic, prediscovery and applied scientific research the Institute follows the below directions: fundamental basics of the informatization of the society and regions, regional data-computing systems and networks; information security; theoretic basics in developing the software-hardware complexes, ori- ented to the information processing in real-time; fundamental basics, models and methods aimed at investigating infor- mation processes in various complex (socio-, eco-, bio-, geo- and other) systems; fundamental basics in developing information technologies for intelli- gent automation systems of control, manufacturing, research, including the applicability to nanotechnologies and biotechnologies; fundamental basics of integration and self organization in computer and telecommunication software-hardware distributed complexes for intel- lectual space development; fundamental basics of design and implementation of the surrounding intellectual space incorporating technologies of ubiquitous computing, tele- communications and multi-modal users’ interfaces; fundamental basics of complex modeling, prognostication and optimi- zation of information processes in natural and artificial systems of the ani- mate and inanimate nature; fundamental basics of modeling the development processes of nano- technologies’ industry and processes of information, nano-, bio- and cogni- tive technologies’ convergence. Basic and applied research as well as design projects in the above listed areas are being done in accordance with the works of the Govern- ment Task approved by FASO Russia for the Institute in regard to the RAS Programs, within the projects of the Federal Special Programs and Pro- grams of the Russian Federation Ministries and Services, under regional scientific programs, under grants of the Russian Federation State Sicentific Foundations and other state foundations, international and foreign institu- tional foundations, order-driven works for domestic and international agen- cies and organizations in conjunction with domestic and foreign universities, research institutions and industrial companies. Applied results of the Institute research are oriented to developing new advanced technologies specified by The List of Crucial Technologies for the Russian Federation. The Institute latest research developments cover a wide range of up-to-date information technologies, particularly intended for: (a) design and software implementation of the intelligent multi-agent sys- tems in tasks of planning, scheduling, distributed heterogeneous data pro- cessing with knowledge mining purpose, as well as in tasks of protecting computer networks against distributed attacks, (b) knowledge logistics and context-driven management of flexible resource networks, (c) automated non-invasive diagnostics and monitoring of the patients’ functional states, (d) developing integrated intelligent geoinformation systems comprising the environment monitoring and interpreting as well as decision making support system, (e) automation and intellectualization of comprehensive modeling of complex organizational and engineering systems at different stages of their life cycles, (f) multi-agent control of robotic systems and their teams using virtual objects in real world and “augmented” reality, (g) audio- and visual information efficient and operational recognition and understanding, (i) multimodal man-computer interaction, (j) contriving distributed computer systems with dynamic architecture capable of developing super-, meta- computers and GRID- systems with automatic program paralleling and re- sources’ distribution as well as unlimited scalability, at that providing for high performance and high level of information security. The above technologies are ready for realization; many of them are al- ready implemented by domestic and international R&D and industrial organ- izations. It is worth noting that many developments are solving the import substitution problem. Certain part of the developments is of the twofold purpose, and some are used in the products’ serial manufacturing, for instance, hardware- software complex for the functional system of environment coverage by the navy integrated automated control system (HAC “Alevrit”) (36 items that permitted to deploy the automated system covering 84 objects), operational and tactical simulators’ complex (OTSC “Avtomatizm) (4 items), system protecting information against the non-authorised access (250 items), sys- tem securing the information deletion (50 items). The Institute is obviously one of the leading Russian scientific research organizations in the field of society informatization. The Institute scholars developed informatics’ scientific and methodological basics, the concept of informatization of the city of St. Petersburg and proposed the ways of its realization, the strategy of its transition to the information society, concep- tual frameworks of information policy accepted by St. Petersburg Admin- istration as guiding documents. Also were developed the model laws for the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries: “About Informatiza- tion, Information and Information Protection”, “About Electronic Commerce”, “About Crucially Important Objects in Information and Telecommunication Infrastructure”; “Strategy Ensuring Information
