An algorithm of boundaries detection in low-contrast radar images of the Earth

One of the problems of radar images analysis of the Earth is the detection of boarders between areas with different normalized effective radar cross-sections. In this paper, we propose a computationally effective quasi-optimal algorithm capable for building approximation of such boarders with straight line segments for low-contrast radar images and arbitrary line for high-contrast radar images. To achieve computational efficiency we apply image segmentation and later approximation. Efficiency of the proposed algorithm was examined on a number of computer generated radar image fragments including low-contrast radar images. Proposed algorithm can be effectively implemented using modern parallel computation systems. © 2016 Academic Publications, Ltd

THE ANALYSIS OF CHANGES OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS AFFECTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROCUREMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESS

The article notes the lack of growth in the share of small business in the Russian economy over the past 15 years, and indicates the need to change the current situation. This article focuses on the way to stimulate the development of small and medium-sized businesses (hereinafter referred to SMBs), namely to provide the support measures for public procurements and purchases on the Federal Law № 223-FZ. The last changes in normative legal acts affecting implementation of purchases on the Federal Law № 223-FZ, a special place in which is given to the support of small and medium business, are considered. The need for additional support measures is justified

Product Market Regulation in Russia

This paper uses the OECD’s indicators of product market regulation (PMR) to assess the extent to which the regulatory environment in Russia supports competition and to draw attention to the areas where further reform efforts would pay dividends. The indicators show that, despite improvements in some areas, many aspects of Russia’s regulatory framework are still restrictive, which provides considerable scope for reaping gains from bringing regulation into line with international best practice. In particular, the scores suggest that Russia’s economic performance would greatly benefit from a reduction in the role of the state enterprise sector in markets that are inherently competitive and reinvigorated efforts to liberalise foreign trade and direct investment regimes. In some network sectors, recent regulatory changes have significantly improved the scope for competition. However, ongoing work needs to focus on separating competitive and monopoly market segments and eliminating barriers to entry. In addition, the authorities need to develop the capacity and strengthen the hands of the sectoral regulators. Introducing an overarching competition policy would also help bring the issue of competition to centre stage and spread a competition ethos through different levels of government.economy, transition, growth, competition, product market regulation, trade, foreign direct investment, state ownership

INCREASING QUALITY OF THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS IN RUSSIA BY INTRODUCING THE SELECTION OF ELECTRONIC TRADING PLATFORMS FOR STATE AND MUNICIPAL PROCUREMENT

The paper is dealing with the history of establishment and development of the modern tendencies of the contract system in procurement for state and municipal needs through electronic trading platforms. The reasons for the selection of sites were specified, its main disadvantages were noted: lack of transparency and insufficient regulation. The importance of an independent technical audit of the ETP with publication of detailed report in the Internet was proven. The necessity of carrying out an open discussion of the proposed mechanisms for introducing an electronic trading platform selection system with the aim to increase the efficiency of the procurement process in Russia is justified

NECESSITY OF PROHIBITION OF THE PAID OBJECT IDENTIFIER OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE FOR ACCESS TO PROCUREMENT ON ELECTRONIC TRADING PLATFORMS

The actuality of the problem of using an electronic signature (next ES) containing an object identifier (next OID) on the possibility of its application on a specific electronic trading platform (next ETP) is considered and described in detail. The legislation on the use of ES in the Russian Federation was studied and it was noticed that there was no requirement that such an attribute exist. The market is studied and the main reason for the paid distribution and the high cost of such marks is indicated - commercial. The mechanism of rejection of OID on the ES carrier is supposed and the possibility to use of the capabilities of the current Unified Identification and Authentication System (next USIA) for obtaining additional information to the user of the key is proposed

Spyware detection technique based on reinforcement learning

Analysis of the antivirus technologies, showed that they are not able to detect new spyware with high efficiency, which significantly reduces the reliability and efficiency of its identification. Techniques based on heuristic analysis have a high rate of false positives. The paper presents a new technique for the spyware detection method in computer systems that provides a principle of proactivity and is based on mechanisms machine learning with the reinforce-mentlearning. The suggested method of spyware detection is based on software behavior analysis in computer systems. The suggested method involves the computer systems monitoring concerning the software, operates with the behavior
