Scientific-theoretical activity

Architectural principles, methods and algorithms were developed for the synthesis of multiprocessor packet switching centers performing adaptive routing function as the consequence of PhD thesis defended within the framework of joint research conducted by the Institute for Problems of Information Transmission of USSR Academy of Sciences in 1985–1990.
Postdoctoral thesis was defended on “Models and methods for information security in computer networks” as the consequence of research conducted by the Institute of System Analysis of Russian Academy of Sciences in 1995–2003.
The scientific results of the doctoral dissertation:
- Several approaches were proposed for the formation concept and realization of the national (corporate) information security system;
- Scientific-methodological bases, architectural principles, models and algorithms were developed for synthesis of adaptive systems of functional modules with distributed infrastructure for information security in corporate networks;
- Conceptual basics of generation of virtual private networks with changing structure (chameleon) to increase information security level of corporate users’ group in open computer networks, and models and methods for their synthesis were developed;
- Methods and algorithms were developed against the threats of different types in computer systems and networks;
- Models and algorithms were developed to select the optimal structures of distributed authentication systems of virtual private networks and providing their fault tolerance.

The obtained scientific results are important for the development of the scientific and theoretical basis of Cloud and SDN technologies, which have recently been widely studied to solve the virtualization problem of the network resources.
Architectural principles and methods were proposed for the synthesis of special intelligent network to fight with spams of various types on national, corporate and individual levels.
Models and algorithms were developed for the synthesis of distributed computing environments on the Internet-platform, and for designing dynamically formed intelligent content-servers network using CDN technology.
For the synthesis of e-commerce systems, models and algorithms were proposed for the customer classification, optimal distribution of servers and their resources and business data.
Various models, methods and algorithms have been developed to solve the problems of intellectual analysis, abstraction, classification, and clustering of texts (Data mining), as well as Big Data.
Optimization models and algorithms, as well as the generalization of PageRank algorithm were proposed to improve the quality of information retrieval systems on the Internet.
Approaches and methods were developed for personal data mining, social networks analysis, secret protection, monitoring, evaluation, on-line management of the society and its security in e-government.
Multidisciplinary research has been conducted on information society formation, its different segments (e-science, e-education etc.) and aspects (information culture, information economy, etc.) and conceptual approaches and suggestions were proposed.
Approaches and models were proposed for extraction and analysis of social networks for various purposes in an online environment.
Methods and algorithms were developed to detect the manifestations of information warfare on the Internet.
Models and algorithms were proposed to improve QoS of ad hoc and sensor networks.
Regularly, he carries out purposeful activities in the direction of identification and transformation of current scientific-theoretical problems studied at the international level in the field of information technologies and computer sciences.
R.Alguliyev advised 4 Doctor of Sciences (DSc) and supervised 34 PhD students. He is currently advising 11 DSc and supervising 5 PhD theses.
