Elena Z. Mokhonko

    I have 37 printing papers. My doctor dissertation is: Mokhonko E.Z. Dynamics of Information Processes in Nonanta-gonistic Games. CC of RAS. Dissertation ... doctor of physics and mathematical sciences. M.: CC of RAS, 1997.350 p.(Russian)

    My scientific results was reported on twenty scientific conferences. Mainly they were international conferences.

    You can ask professors Galperin E.A., Kononenko A.F., Krasovskii A.N., Nikolskii M. S., Petrosjan L.A. theirs opinion about my scientific achievements.

    My psychological type is INFJ or INTJ. I like to sing and to compose songs, jogging, to do joga gymnastics. I have coloratura soprano. I am friendly, kind and honest.

    I am in divorce. I have no children, but I hope that I shall meet nice man and shall have family.

    I like my work in Computing Centre of RAS and MIPT very much. It is very interesting work. I am happy that I work among scientists of the higher class. But I am looking for the post - doctoral course or some scientific work abroad because of the hard economic crises in Russia

    It is natural to consider as optimal regime of reception of information such regime under which the control system carries out its function maximizing its achievement and does not destroy itself till the end of its life cycle.

    It is reasonable to conjecture that every control system has its own optimal information regime. These optimal regimes can be very different. For one system the regime of continuous reception of the exact information without delay is optimal. For other system the regime of reception of discrete, delayed information could do better. J. Forrester demonstrated in his book "Cybernetics of the manufacture" that continuous reception of the exact and undelayed information can be non-optimum regime for the system consisting of a plant, which produces some goods, of a storehouse and of a shop which sell these goods.

    Apparently implementation of computers and modern means of communications which diminishes the delay, an inaccuracy of information does not necessarily lead in all cases to the improvement of the functioning of the control system.

    In many cases such implementation needs to be accompanied by an adjustment the methods of control in order at least to keep the effectiveness of functioning of the system on the former level.

    For example, it may be necessary to ignore over some periods the incoming information or to aggregate it and then to form the control according to this aggregated information. It can be even necessary to change the structure of the control system.

    So, the alteration of information regime is the factor which destroys part of the old structures and create new substructures. This type of destructions is not desirable in many cases.

    It is necessary to estimate the danger of unsuitable, non-optimum information flow as a destructive factor.

    The simplest information system is not able to ignore the incoming information. Evidently the system can perish if the information comes more rarely than under the optimal regime. But there is also a danger related to receiving information more intensively in comparison with what is prescribed by the optimal regimes. The danger exists just because of incapability to ignore this information. The simplest perceptive system begins to react to the environment more often than it is necessary and quickly wears out itself. As a result it perishes.

    A human being consists of many simple information subsystems. Besides even man is not able to ignore the incoming information in all this cases.

    The danger of this phenomena is often underestimated. The destruction of people, social - economic and other information systems due to unsuitable information regimes is considered as natural, not forced, nonviolent death. Therefore there are no arrangements made in order to defend the systems from such destructive information influence.

    A persistent question is whether the amount of people dying from the influence of unsuitable information flows cannot be compared with the amount of people dying from heavy illnesses, epidemic, etc.?

    Let pay attention to the fact that we have to investigate the phenomenon which can be bad as for living beings as for social-economic and technical systems.

    Evidently it is necessary to create new science - the information ecology. We have to consolidate the forces of the researchers both exact sciences and the humanities, especially those researches who investigate information phenomena professionally, for example, specialists on the field of operations research.

    So we come to the conclusion that the investigation of acceptable and optimal information regimes are perspective from both theoretical and practical points of view.
