METHODOLOGY AND ORGANIZATION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Information technologies are widely used in industry, education and everyday life. Modern life can no longer be imagined without the use of information systems. Digital technologies are widely used in the world and in Ukraine. The development of information technology requires new research and the creation of new methods of information processing, as well as new hardware for the implementation of these methods.

Improving the efficiency of research in the field of information technology depends on an effective methodology and optimal organization of research in the process of creating new methods of information processing, new algorithms and information systems. The current state of information technology development unites the process of designing and researching information systems.

The combination of design and research of information systems is very important, because when creating a new information system it is important to obtain the optimal ratio of its technical characteristics and development costs. The optimal ratio of technical characteristics and the cost of information system development determines the answer to the question of whether the goal of information system development and research of its technical characteristics has been achieved.

New developments and research in the field of information technology begin with the development of a research project that defines the purpose and objectives of development and research, as well as its technical and economic characteristics. In the process of research project implementation is a cyclical implementation of the three main stages of design and research of information systems.

In the work on the basis of the conducted analysis of methods of carrying out scientific researches it is defined that the method of multifactor experiment most thoroughly allows to investigate influence of simultaneously various external factors on information system. This method is comprehensive and allows to obtain statistics for different testing scenarios, to determine the allowable limits of the impact of various external factors on the information system and their various aggregates, as well as to develop a set of recommendations for operation and maintenance of the information system.
