Institute conducts research on current scientific problems in software engineering

At the next meeting of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Information Technology of the Ministry of Science of Education, information was presented on the research conducted in 2025 on software engineering, as well as the analysis and synthesis of software systems at the institute.

Assoc. Prof. Tofig Kazimov, Head of the Department and PhD in Physics and Mathematics, provided a detailed account of the scientific research and innovation activities, international cooperation, conference presentations, publications in prominent scientific journals, scientific seminars conducted, and other related work carried out in the structural unit he leads during the current year.

Assoc. Prof. T. Kazimov noted that research had been conducted on the topic “Intellectual Analysis of Incidents Arising in the Exploitation of Software Systems in Social Engineering and the Provision of Recommendations,” focusing on the intellectual analysis of incidents, the development of a conceptual model, and the creation of a method for clustering errors occurring during the exploitation of software systems.

The Head of the Department also provided information on the research conducted on the topic “Development of a Method and Model to Enhance the Stability of Software Systems.” He stated that a model based on a fuzzy neural network had been applied to enhance the stability of software systems, the scientific and theoretical problems of software code obfuscation had been investigated, a comparative analysis of existing models and tools for visualizing software products throughout their life cycle had been conducted, and related articles had been prepared. He also noted that in 2025, under the theme “Development of a National Ecosystem to Ensure Children’s Information Security on the Internet,” the essence and challenges of the Child Protection Ecosystem were examined, and a method was developed to evaluate children’s Internet addiction.

Assoc. Prof. T. Kazimov emphasized that during the reporting period, seven articles and seven conference papers were published in journals indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and other international scientific databases, as well as presented at international and national conferences recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission.

Then, Academician Rasim Alguliyev, Vice-President of ANAS and Director General of the Institute, addressed the meeting and put forward a number of proposals and recommendations regarding the department’s annual report. He highly appreciated the research carried out in the structural unit in scientific areas that address the challenges of the modern era. The academician emphasized the increasing number of cyber threats targeting software systems and highlighted the need for a thorough examination of issues such as the application of artificial intelligence and ensuring the sovereignty of the software industry in this context.

Academician R. Alguliyev also presented his proposals for organizing a scientific session in 2026, which will be devoted to the scientific and theoretical problems of software engineering and the country’s cyber sovereignty issues. The Director General also recommended that the results achieved in the visualization of the software products’ life cycle be presented for discussion at the Institute’s scientific seminar.

The Scientific Council decided that the department’s annual report was satisfactory.
