"Engineering and programming of infocommunications"

The set of information and telecommunication systems/technologies, which in the process of processing and transmitting information act as a whole, is determined by the term of infocommunication.

Modern development of the field of infocommunication is characterized by an increase in its convergence of communication architecture with computer and information technologies and, as a consequence, an increasing amount of infocommunication systems by software. This tendency and the need to accelerate the processes of creating and implementing such tools indicates the need for training specialists who possess not only knowledge of the creation and operation of electronic communications, common general programming principles, but also knowledge of the implementation of specialized software for transfer, processing and storage of data .

"Information and Communication Technologies"

To provide access to modern Internet services and facilities at any time and in any place, communication systems and technologies use electronic networks that connect geographically distributed data centers with end users. The rapid increase in the need for obtaining information services and facilities determines the growth of the storage and processing of heterogeneous information and computing resources in nodes of "cloud" (located in different regions of the world) data centers. This requires the constant development and improvement of modern information and communication technologies, the construction of software and hardware platforms that will ensure the receipt of Internet services. Instead of developing their own infrastructure, communication operators and Internet service providers are increasingly introducing elements of a heterogeneous environment based on the Internet, Intranet, "cloud" technologies in combination with modern 3G, 4G and 5G communication networks to ensure high-quality user service. In addition, the latest IoT (Internet of Thinks) technologies require the organization of M2M and D2D (machine-to-machine and device-to-device) communications.
