Intelligent information management
Activity in Intelligent Data Management is concentrated mostly around E-Governance. This trend manifests development of the infrastructure for state governance at all levels. R&D in this domain is pretty active since e-Governance must be properly suited against national laws, policies and traditions.
New methods and algorithms and its utilization in the various problems of digital signal and image processing tasks, such as compression, filtration, enhancement, recognition, watermarking and etc. as well as appropriate software tools are developed in different laboratories of Armenian research institutes. The research includes synthesis of new orthogonal and bi-orthogonal matrices and its corresponding fast transform algorithm, digital signal and image steganography, morphological analysis of signal and image, image quality assessment and enhancement, Data mining, coding theory and cryptography synthesis of new cryptosystems and their software implementation under cluster and grid environments, key cryptosystems based on elliptic curves.
The research is directed to solution of theoretical and applied problems of reliability and security of information transmission in complex communication systems, study of statistical models of hypothesis testing and identification. Various investigations are implemented related to application of information-theoretical and statistical methods and computers for health, environment, sociology problems solution.

Belarus research bodies and state companies are activly developing new hardware and software systems for Governance and Policy Modelling. During 2003-2010 Belarus was implementing the National ICT Programme of the Republic of Belarus from 2003-2010 “e-Belarus” – which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization. The ultimate goal of the programme is to create a unified ICT environment that will provide conditions to improve the economy; enhance state and regional management; and provide citizens with the right to freely search and distribute information on the economic and social status of society.
Distinguished R&D institutions:
- United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (UIIP NASB)
- CNIITU Scientific and Research Republican Unitary Enterprise
- Belarusian Institute of System Analysis and Information Support for Scientific and Technology
There are a number of Ukrainian ICT organizations developing e-governance applications; still the country holds a low position (41 out of 70 countries) according to the government Readiness Index of 2008. Still both Ukrainian civil servants and citizens are not prepared for the wide and effective use of ICT technologies. On the other hand, there is an urgent need to develop stronger electronic governance system in Ukraine. Thus, EU R&D collaboration projects in this area could contribute to such development in the country.
Ukrainian organizations recognized in this domain are Institute of Mathematical Machines and Systems Problems of the Ukraine National Academy of Science and Regional centre of e-governance development in Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Kazakhstan government is planning to actively develop e-government also on regional level.
Infrastructure of Kazakhstan e-government consists of electronic certificate, digital signature, computers made in Kazakhstan and info kiosks. Informatization and Communication intends to implement this service for mobile phones. Expected project – e-government in mobile phone.
