About IIAP:
Established in 1957, Institute forInformatics and Automation Problems (IIAP) is the leading research and technology development institute of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia (NAS RA) in the area of applied mathematics, informatics and computing technologies. IIAP is one of the leading research institutes in the Caucasus region, responsible for project implementation and management on a regional level.
Research activities are structured around three main fields: Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, Software tools, networking and e-infrastructures, and Implementation of ICT for state and social needs.
Each direction is further subdivided as follows:
Computer Science and Applied Mathematics:
- - Models of Computations and Logical Reasoning
- - Discrete Mathematics
- - Information Theory and Statistical Models
- - Coding and Signal Processing
Software tools, Networking and E-infrastructures:
- - Computational and Cognitive Networks
- - Applied Programming Systems
- - Scientific Computing
Implementation of ICT for state and social needs:
- - ICT Innovation and Business
- - Scientific Information Analysis and Monitoring
Among IIAP’s major achievements are:
- design, development and full management of Academic Scientific Research Computer
Network of Armenia (ASNET-AM, http://www.asnet.am);
- operation and management of two major federal programs funded by the Armenian Government
- Creation of Armenian State Computing System,
- Deployment of National Grid Infrastructure.
IIAP is actively involved in EC Framework Programmes. Recent projects include:
- VRE for Regional Interdisciplinary Communities in Southeast Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean (EC Horizon2020, 2015–2018)
