The Educational Scientific Complex 'Institute for Applied System Analysis' (ESC ‘IASA’) of Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MESU) and National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) was created after Decision of Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in December 1997, on the base of Chair of Mathematical Methods of System Analysis of National Technical University of Ukraine «KPI» and Institute for Applied System Analysis of NAS of Ukraine and Ministry of Education of Ukraine. Creation of Institute of double submission (to NAS of Ukraine and to Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine) was connected with embodiment of conception of science and education integration, having the aim of carrying out the pioneer scientific research in the country and training of special purpose of highly qualified specialists for NAS of Ukraine and other branches of national economy in the field of applied system analysis, modern information technologies and computer sciences. Scientific research work in the Institute is the inalienable part of specialists training. Scientific departments (of Mathematical Methods of System Analysis, Applied Nonlinear Analysis, Numeral Methods of Optimization, and Information Recourses) which have glorious scientific traditions operate in the Institute. In 1959, the Department of Synthesis of the Sensor_Based Systems under the direction of professor V. I. Ivanenko, was created in the Institute for Cybernetics of AS of USSR on initiative of academician V. M. Glushkov. Direction of researches is theory of casual processes control and its application in chemical and defensive techniques. Since 1996 this department, under the name of Department of Applied Nonlinear Analysis, mingles with the Institute for Applied System Analysis, and the correspondent member of NAS of Ukraine V. S. Melnik becomes its head.

The Department of Numeral Methods of Optimization was founded in the Institute for Cybernetics of AS of USSR in 1964. Development of researches of mathematical formalization of different classes of extreme problems, their theoretical basis, especially developments of numeral methods of their solving was the purpose of department's founding. For many years the department has been headed by academician B.M. Pshenichniy.

The Department of Mathematical Methods of System Analysis was founded in the Institute for Applied System Analysis in 1996, under the direction of academician M. Z. Zgurovsky with the purpose to carry out fundamental and applied research in the field of system analysis. The Chair of Mathematical Methods of System Analysis (MMSA), which forms part of the Institute, was created in KPI in 1988 by the initiative of academicians Y. L. Daletsky and M. Z. Zgurovsky and by participation of academician V. S. Mikhalevich. The Scientific Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Research (SRIIR) was created on initiative of academician A. I. Kukhtenko in 1990 in Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, on the basis of scientific research sector of MMSA Chair. The main direction of SRIIR activity lied in carrying out the largescale searching and fundamental research of interdisciplinary character in further scientific directions: mathematical, physical chemical and engineer methods of environment protection; systems of artificial intellect; fractal theory and its application in physics, chemistry and material sciences; theory of catastrophes and bifurcation; synergetic and 'chaos' etc.

In SRIIR, there was brought out the engineer realization of scientific research developments in different branches of industry, taking into account the needs of internal and world market, scientific technical developments and different types of program products introduction, foundation the banks of new developments, taking into account the marketing and state of the world market. Ideological bases of interdisciplinary research, progressive scientific directions of SRIIR proposed by A. I. Kukhtenko, scientific developments and educational process combination served in future as the basis for educational scientific complex 'Institute for Applied System Analysis' creation. In 2006, the Chair of Computer Aided Design Systems (CAD) and the scientific research Institute of Information Recourses 'INFORES' which were fruitfully working at the Faculty of Electronics of NTUU 'KPI', formed part of ESC 'IASA'. Transition is caused by the desire of both sides to join efforts in the field of high quality training of computer science specialists and carrying out common scientific complex system research. In 2007 'INFORES' Institute was re_organized into the Department of Information Recourses. In 1985, the CAD Chair, under the direction of head professor A. I. Petrenko, began training specialists of new speciality 'Computer Aided Design Systems', whose name was changed hereafter, according to the international practice, into 'Information Technologies of Design'. Now more than thousand and a half of students study in the Institute.

Bachelors and Masters training is carried out from 2007/2008 academic year by directions:

• 'System analysis' (specialities 'System analysis and control', 'Systems and methods of decision making');
• 'Informatics' (speciality 'Social informatics');
• 'Computer sciences' (specialities 'Systems of artificial intelligence', 'System design');

Faculties that work in Institute:

• System Research;
• Pre_Institute Training;
• Course Training;
• Secondary Higher and Post_Diploma
  

Education.
The Faculty of System Research was created in 2007 on the basis of MMSA and CAD Chairs, the last one changed its name to the 'System Design' (SD_CAD). Experienced scientists and pedagogues of NTUU «KPI», V. M. Glushkov Institute for Cybernetics of NAS of Ukraine, Institute for Information Registration Problems of NAS of Ukraine, Institute for Mathematics of NAS of Ukraine, Institute for Space Researches of NAS of Ukraine and National Space Agency of Ukraine are occupied with reading lectures, carrying out practical studies, directing the diploma works.

Computer  laboratories equipped according to the most modern principles have all the conditions for carrying out practical studies, in particular for carrying out the educational courses of CISCO Network a c a d e m y f o r design, construction and administrating of local and global networks, as well as certain activities connected with modern integral_performed microsystems design, and analytical accompaniment of bank activity, etc. Employees of Institute take part in the international programs of Tacis, EDNEC, Intas etc. Common with IIASA (Austria) the Institute is engaged in applied research in social economic problems of the state. At active participation of Institute and at support of technical committee of NATO, there is a work being carried out of planning and creation of international computer network of educational and scientific establishments, the URAN system. The 'INFORES' Institute took part in execution of projects of European Commission CALMAPTACIS і Сopernicus_INCO, projects of Scientific Technological Center of Ukraine (STCU), project with Intel firm through the Ukrainian Representation of Civil Research and Development Fund of the USA (CRDF), direct contacts with Panasonic, General Electric firms, and the South Korean SeoduLogic firm, etc. On initiative of Institute, with active common work with UNIDO (Austria), the state scientific program 'Technological Foresight as System Methodology of Innovation Development of Ukraine' was carried out. The international scientific journal 'System Research and Information Technologies' which is included to the list of professional scientific editions of Ukraine, is been published in Institute.

The institute is the organizer and coorganizer of many scientific conferences and seminars, in particular, it annually carries out International scientific practical conference 'System Analysis and Information Technologies'.The fundamental and applied research is realized in close connection with the educational process. The results of scientific development are directly introduced to the educational process as lectures for students, in this way the question of forestalling e d uc a t i on is being solved. Theoretical training of students merges with practical activity in scientific subsections of Institute. In Po s t Graduate and Doctorate Department of Institute, have their studies the scientists of physical mathematics and technical branches of sciences on specialities: 'System Analysis and Optimal Decisions Theory', 'Mathematical Simulation and Numerical Methods', 'Systems and Processes of Control', 'Information Technologies', 'Computer_Aided Design Systems' etc. High level of training of specialists in Post_Graduate and Doctorate Department of Institute is confirmed by numerous successful dissertations and scientific schools creation: of Infinite dimensional Analysis (founded by academician of NAS of Ukraine U. L. Daletsky), Optimization Theory (founded by academician of NAS of Ukraine B. M. Pshenichny), Computer Aided Control of Technological Processes (founded by professor V. V. Azhogin), System Analysis and Theory of Decisions Making (under the direction of academician of NAS of Ukraine M. Z. Zgurovsky), Nonlinear Analysis and Theory of Dynamic Systems (under the direction of correspondent member of NAS of U k r a i n e V. S. Melnik), Computer Design (under the direction of professor A. I. Petrenko). Special purpose training of students of senior courses foresees the obligatory participation in scientific researches which are executed by the scientific departments of Institute and at the place of future work. As the experience of practical activity of our graduating students has shown, they work successfully as system analysts, circuit design engineers, mathematicians, programmers, local nets administrators, economists, in establishments of NAS of Ukraine, state organs of management of different levels, in particular branch of the research institutes, in commercial firms and banks. The high level of training of specialists in the Institute provides the highly skilled collective of professors and scientists, having among them one academician of NAS of Ukraine, one correspondent_member of NAS of Ukraine, 16 professors and 47 doctors of sciences.
