Information technology (IT) are aimed at:

• replacing human effort;
• automating tasks and processes, including manufacturing;
• strengthening human action (they informate tasks and processes that support the analysis, interpretation, presentation of data to support decision making in business);
• restructuring of business processes.

Without a sound scientific research in this area there may not be any effective specialist training, that’s why Scientific Research Institute of Information Processes is created at the ACTS department, which consists of scientific research laboratories (SRL):
