Information technology systems represent the backbone of a company's operational infrastructure. A company's top management typically ensures that computer software and hardware mechanisms are adequate, functional and in adherence with regulatory guidelines and industry practices. Nowadays, due to depressed economic and increased intensity of performed operations, business highly recognizes the influence of effective Information Technology risk management on profitability. The purpose of this paper is to develop IT risks assessment systems support functional model, based on analysis of IT risks and assessment mechanisms, IT governance and risk management frameworks, functional analysis of IT risks assessment and management software, and, finally, to develop IT risk management domain specification language with a metamodel that defines an abstract UML based language for supporting model-based risk assessment. Usage of UML based domain specific language achieves synergy from in IT industry widely used UML modelling technique and the domain specific risk management extensions.

This paper focuses on a metamodel based approach to Unified Modelling Language (UML systems modelling and simulation. The approach allows creating a system model by operating with artefacts from the problem domain. As a novelty for UML modelling, especially for simulation purposes, the presented meta-model is enriched by a set of stochastic attributes of modelled activities. Modelling process is ensured by developing UML based Domain Specific Language (DSL) that is suitable for the metamodel, where UML diagrams are complemented with attributes necessary for model simulation. A modelling tool prototype was developed with Microsoft Visual Studio using Microsoft Visualization and Modelling SDK. Elaborated models are stored in a modelbase which conforms to the described metamodel. Relevant DEVS simulation software will be developed for ability to run those models and analyse gathered results. The given approach facilitates increases of the productivity in development of domain specific modelling and simulation tools up to 10 times.

This paper describes an integrated software environment for multi-modal public transit simulation based on the principles of geosimulation that integrates the capabilities of multi-agent systems, GIS and interactive visualization. The goal of the presented research is to explore possibilities of population in one of Latvia’s planning regions, called Vidzeme, to access state/municipal and other services by using public transport. In order to achieve the defined goal, an integrated simulation environment for public transit analysis and planning is developed.

This paper is devoted to a meta-model based approach to UML systems modelling. The approach allows creating a system model by operating with artefacts from the problem domain, followed by generation of a UML model. The discussed approach is illustrated by generating UML models, using Use Case and Activity diagrams of the UML language.

Nowadays, the systems developed to integrate real physical processes and virtual computational processes — the cyber-physical systems (CPS), are used in multiple areas of industry and critical national infrastructure, such as manufacturing, medicine, traffic management and security, automotive engineering, industrial process control, energy saving, ecological management, industrial robots, technical infrastructure management, distributed robotic systems, protection target systems, nanotechnology and biological systems technology. With wide use, the level of IT and cyberrisks increases drastically and successful attacks against the CPS will lead to unmanageable and unimaginable consequence. Thus, the need in well-designed risk assessment system of CPS is clear and such system can provide an overall view of CPS security status and support efficient allocations of safeguard resources. The nature of CPS differs from IT mainly with the requirement for real-time operations, thus, traditional risk assessment method for IT system can be adopted in CPS. Design of a unified modelling language based domain specific language described in this paper achieves synergy from in IT industry widely used UML modelling technique and the domain specific risk management extensions. As a novelty for UML modelling, especially for simulation purposes, the presented DSL is enriched by a set of stochastic attributes of modelled activities. Such stochastic attributes are usable for further implementation of discrete-event system simulators.

Geoinformation are changing fast, therefore a change detection of real estate must be processed in short time. The increasing resolution of sensed geospatial data creates critically important to develop high performance computing solutions to process geospatial information. The topic of scientific work is the real estate monitoring system based on image recognition and remote sensing technologies. System's practical application is automatic building recognition from LiDAR data using saliency based method, vector map generation and change detection in actual cadastral maps. The scientific work describes high performance computing solution and gives its performance comparison with traditional method.

Nowadays, an increasing role in various technologies holds electronic devices that automate the various systems to facilitate people's daily life. This publication describes one of those types of automation capabilities, as a control system using mobile phones and mobile communications. Innovative approaches for the modification can be used for various purposes, such as a room or vehicle security alarm systems, remote management for various processes, the heating system furnace firing, the combustion process control, as well as many other remote management and control purposes.

Abstract The paper discusses a methodology of object-oriented modelling and simulation. This methodology was developed for large-scale systems modelling and simulation. From modelling point of view, presented methodology can be classified as Object-Oriented methodology, and from simulation point of view as discrete event system (DEYS) methodology.

The concept of information warfare encompasses the use of information and communication technologies to gain an advantage over a potential opponent. The information warfare is the manipulation with the information that trusts the goal, so that the goal should make decisions about its interests in the interests of opponents. Information structures are treated as systems that process different types of information, provide storage and access to users. Such structures may enclose neural networks, self-learning systems etc. They need to be ready to learn, respond to threats and ensure their safety, which is topical in today's information warfare. This paper will address aspects related to the security of information systems from a system theory point of view. The knowledge base of information structures can be elements of artificial intelligence, which security must be protected against various threats. The authors considers artificial neural networks to be one of the potential threats in the context of information warfare.

Method allows for modelling of the complex process of laser pulse energy distribution over flat work surface. The process of calculating the correct result does not use common lasing formulas but instead employs the mathematical model of matrix multiplication of three input matrices representing a pulse model, a line model, and a plane model. The pulse model represents the distribution of planar energy densities within the laser pulse. The line model represents the distribution of pulses within the line. The plane model represents the distribution of lines within the plane. Because mathematical model is implemented within a spreadsheet processor, its size can be adjusted as needed and it can be instantiated multiple times for simultaneous modelling of different input parameters.
