About

In 2026, our symposium is dedicated to the unity of the peoples of Russia and the 65th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first flight into space.

About the Symposium

The purpose of the symposium is to exchange scientific information, establish scientific contacts, and, on this basis, plan joint scientific research in the field of fundamental and applied problems of reliability and quality; as well as communication between scientists, industry representatives, specialists, applicants, and graduate students:
• on fundamental and applied problems of reliability, safety, and quality in the design, production, operation, and maintenance of complex science-intensive technical products;
• on the development and implementation of methods and means for improving reliability and quality, innovative information and communication technologies in science, production, and education;
• on the issues of training highly qualified personnel.
This will allow for a comprehensive assessment of the state of the art, and the development and implementation of optimal plans and paths for the development of fundamental and applied research, high technologies, and education, as confirmed by long-standing international practice.

The section is headed by V.A. Shakhnov, Doctor of Engineering, Professor, Head of the Scientific School "Design and Technological Informatics in Radioelectronics," Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the USSR State Prize, USSR Council of Ministers Prize, and Russian Federation Government Prizes. He is also the Head of the Department of Electronic Equipment Design and Production Technology at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. He is an outstanding specialist in the field of creating new types of electronic equipment and design methods for them. Under his leadership, a resource-saving methodology for designing load-bearing structures for electronic equipment operating under quasi-static and dynamic loading was developed.

5. Methods and Means of Ensuring the Accuracy of Physical Measurements, Control, and Diagnostics.
The section is headed by:
S.P. Khalyutin, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Electrical Sciences, Scientific Director of NPO NaukaSoft LLC (Moscow), and Head of Department at the Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation.

6. Fundamental Principles of Standardization, Testing, Quality Management, and Certification.
The section is headed by G.S. Sadykhov, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, Professor, Chief Researcher at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and Leading Researcher at the Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He developed the fundamental scientific foundations for assessing and monitoring the safety of man-made hazardous facilities. The introduced safety indicators make it possible to determine the time intervals for operating technical facilities with a given safety level, as well as to plan safety testing of the facilities. Scientific results in the field of residual service life assessment and monitoring have made a significant contribution to fundamental science and have found wide engineering application in extending the designated service life of technical facilities.

7. Systematic Methods for Ensuring the Reliability and Security of Biological and Cyber-Physical Systems.
The section is headed by V.P. Savchenko, Doctor of Engineering, Professor, a leading organizer of industrial production of specialized equipment, and an outstanding scientist in the field of production and maintenance of air defense and missile defense computing systems. He is a recipient of the Order of Honor.
