History of the chair

Department ASIP established in 1988 at the Physics Department on the basis of Department of technical means of processing of economic information Department of Economics. The first head of the department, was elected associate professor Ivanyuk Aliaxei. Since 1993, the emergence of the specialty involved Ph.D., Associate Professor Demidenko Oleg.

The most problematic at that time was the state of the physical characteristics of educational process and scientific research. So the first thing Oleg Mikhailovich, connecting their research and production contacts, laid basis for creating your own data center Department ASIP. Initially it was equipped with ten personal computer IBM PC/AT. Now it can bring a smile even from those who remotely familiar with computer technique. But it was excellent mass things, which outfitted with computer centers at leading enterprises Gomel region.

Created class became the springboard from which you have jumps to achieve new results. In 1996, members of the department adopted active part in creating a local area network Gomel State University named F.Skaryna within international program «Tempus-Tacis». Separate network segment connected computer science department ASIP. In 1997, the laboratory opened "Fault Diagnosis of Complex Systems", are still necessary stands, computers, blocks and nodes, as well as electrical equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, generators, etc.) necessary for troubleshooting and repairing PCs.

In 1999, the specialization "Automated Systems management in the electronic industry" and "Automated processing systems and information display". In 2003, with the help regional leader in the field of information technology IBA-Gomel opened the second computer center. Currently two Computing Centers brings together dozens of contemporary computers connected to a fiber-optic network university with access to global computer networks, different communication and peripheral equipment.

The Department focuses on research. The works for the state budget and contract scientific topics. Over the past 10 years has published over 300 scientific and educational methodological work, including 4 monographs and 7 teaching benefits with the stamp of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus. Demidenko Oleg defended his doctoral dissertation on the relevant trends - Monitoring computational process in the local area networks. Six graduate students under the leadership of Oleg Demidenko defended Ph.D. dissertation.

Department ASIP proved as one of the most caring about the professional development departments of the university. Its teachers was trained in Germany, France, Britain, Spain, the United States. They participated in performance of work within the framework of the European Community TEMPUS/TASIS to improve governance in higher education institution in the establishment and improvement of the computer center and web-site village Igauka Dobrush district together with the Swiss Agency Development and Cooperation. More than half of teachers of the Department have industrial certificates received on the various programs of High Technologies Park of Belarus.

Achieved results and the department honored by his colleagues authority were so high that in May 2007, Demidenko Oleg became vice-rector for scientific work of our university. The post Head of Department ASIP was elected Ph.D. in Technical sciences, Associate Professor Viktar Liauchuk.

Currently, the department teaches over 450 students daily and correspondence training in two specializations: "Automated processing systems and information retrieval", "Corporate networks and systems". They are required in our country of qualification - Engineer Information Technology. In recent years, the department ASIP except for Belarusian students, students from Russia, Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Yemen.

Graduate ASIP are universal experts in the field of computer technology. They can work enterprises and organizations with computer equipment, system Information Processing and Management. They are professional users of modern computer technology, know-date programming languages, operating systems and application packages programs are skilled in determining fault of the computer and repair, are able to process information in computer networks (including exit in international commercial and noncommercial networks), are able to work with modern hardware and software for processing graphic and audio information.

Graduates of the department are working in leading IT companies Gomel region: IBA-Gomel, EPAM Systems, Server. They automate business processes such giants as Gomselmash, Belarusian Metallurgical Plant, Mozyr Oil Plant, Belarusoil, Gomelenergo, etc.
