This website presents information about IoC as of 31 December 2016 and is no longer updated.

RESEARCH

The research conducted at the Institute of Cybernetics in interdisciplinary. A common feature of the research areas pursued at the institute is application of mathematical methods.

Research directions

Applied mathematics: approximation methods, inverse problems.

Mechanics: nonlinear dynamics, behavior of microstructured materials under dynamic loads, solitons and solitary waves, acoustodiagnostics, fractality, econophysics, acoustics of the piano, integral photoelasticity and photoelastic tomography, biomechanics, cell energetics, complex and nonlinear phenomena in wave dynamics and coastal engineering, application of mathematical methods in wave research.

Control systems: Nonlinear and robust control systems, modeling of control systems, learning and planning in robotic systems, formal testing and verification methods for distributed and embedded systems.

Computer science: automata theory, functional and dependently typed programming, semantics of programming languages, program analyses and program logics, ontology engineering in information systems, software process improvement, software composition and visual specification, tools for modelling and simulation and cyber defense.

Phonetics and speech technology: phonetics of the Estonian language, models of speech, synthesis and analysis of speech, speech recognition, speaker recognition.

Publications

The publication statistics of the research staff of IoC for recent years is as follows (as of 12 December 2016; the indexing numbers for the three last years are not final and will likely grow significantly).

2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Articles in journals and collections 108 112 121 138 151 140 157 136 150 156 110 90
whereof Science Citation Index Expanded 33 32 30 41 52 43 61 32 50 40 45 39
whereof Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science 12 18 22 42 37 32 19 26 28 25 21 3
whereof Scopus 56 63 72 93 110 93 111 98 111 97 82 68

The number of CPCI-S indexed publications has stagnated since 2011. This not because of a changed publication pattern of IoC's researchers. Instead, population of this the database at Thomson Reuters has slowed down to an almost complete halt.

The number of qualifying (ETIS 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 3.1) publications per academic personnel member at IoC was 2,3 in 2014 (at TUT on the whole 1,19, at U of Tartu 1,9).

IoC best papers of the year

Research evaluation

The reseach activity of IoC was evaluated regularly in physical and engineering sciences 2010 as part of the research of TUT.

In 2017, this exercise will be repeated.

IoC's wave engineering lab participated in the targeted research evaluation of civil engineering 2008-2012 and was the sole group nationwide to earn the highest marks.

In the targeted research evaluation of ICT 2009-2014 IoC participated with 4 research groups whereof 2 (logic and semantics, control systems) won the highest marks. TUT overall participated with 15 groups out of which 5 were given the highest marks.

Distinctions

The research staff of the institute has earned various Estonian and international distinctions.
