          <artTitle lang="ENG">Flexible deep forest classifier with multi-head attention</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">A new modification of the deep forest (DF), called the attention-based deep forest (ABDF), for solving classification problems is proposed in the paper. The main idea behind the modification is to use the attention mechanism to aggregate predictions of the random forests at each level of the DF to enhance the classification performance of the DF. The attention mechanism is implemented by assigning the attention weights with trainable parameters to class probability vectors. The trainable parameters are determined by solving an optimization problem minimizing the loss function of predictions at each level of the DF. In order to reduce the number of random forests, the multi-head attention is incorporated into the DF. Numerical experiments with real data illustrate the ABDF and compare it with the original DF.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article shows the relevance of using cloud technologies in the field of industrial automation of technological processes. Typical architectures of modern automated control systems, as well as new standards and approaches to the design of industrial control systems developed by international communities are analyzed. A prototype of an open cloud distributed control system based on IEC 61131 has been demonstrated. The dependences of the computing power of virtual controllers on the number of processed objects are given. The Open Process Automation initiative aims to enhance the full lifecycle benefits of industrial control systems through the use of a standards-based, open, secure, interoperable architecture and open business model. The OPAS standard based on this initiative uses a “standard of standards” approach.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">This article describes the development of a set of simulation models for workflow elements related to transactional services in infocommunication systems. The article presents modeling methods used to calculate, analyze and predict various indicators of the quality of infocommunication services, such as delays, service delivery time and productivity. The necessity of using this method is due to the reduction of labor costs for modeling complex systems and the evaluation of the rationality of the developed mathematical models. The article presents the results of the study in the form of a library of components for simulation modeling, which can be used to improve the quality of transactional services in the development of modern high-load infocommunication systems. The approach described in the article is an effective tool for research and optimization of the quality of transactional services. It can be applied in various areas where analysis and improvement of the performance of data processing systems are required, including for the development of integrated solutions for big data processing, cloud computing or the development of digital counterparts of infocommunication infrastructure.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">Exact analytical solutions of elliptic and hyperbolic equations in a multichannel multistatic positioning system are obtained. The results of modeling the Time Sum of Arrival (TSoA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) methods for estimating the object coordinates by arrival times with fluctuations are presented. Particular attention is paid to the causes of gross errors in case of problematic configurations of base stations (BS) and the position of the object. The study revealed that the advantages of the TSoA method over the TDoA method include a reduction in the area with anomalous errors and better accuracy outside the BS perimeter, and the advantage of TDoA over TSoA should include more accurate work inside the BS perimeter. Based on the identified advantages, optimization of a multichannel multistatic positioning system, which combines the advantages of TSoA and TDoA methods, is proposed. As a result of the simulation, it was found that the combined TSoA/TDoA method, based on the exact analytical solution of equations, has an order of magnitude higher accuracy in determining the object’s coordinates than the frequently used method of linearization of hyperbolic equations. Due to these advantages, the proposed algorithm is promising for remote determination of the parameters of unmanned vehicles in “smart city” technologies.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article shows a new measuring technology and a statistical approach to control the measured values and parameters of technological processes that reduce the uncertainty of systems measuring the amount of liquefied natural gas energy (LNG). An increase in the consumption of liquefied natural gas requires the use of measuring technologies that take into account changes in physical and chemical properties, process parameters, and other factors affecting the uncertainty of measuring systems at subzero temperatures of working fluids. A measuring technology is presented that takes into account the influence of technological processes and changes in the properties of LNG. The application of a statistical approach to the control of measured values makes it possible to reduce the influence of technology and changes in physico-chemical properties on the uncertainty of the of systems measuring mass, volume, density and energy of LNG. The developed system of metrological support increases the accuracy of measurement systems of LNG energy by 1.5–2 times. The solution is relevant for information and measurement systems for determining the amount of energy of liquefied hydrogen.</abstract>
