The Department is represented in Ukraine and 18 other countries by over 200 PhD’s and Doctors of Computer Science.
Since 2010 the department has changed its main line of work to "Theory of network information technologies, methods and means of hardware and software implementation of high-performance computer systems and networks, focused on distributed data processing in cluster, GRID and Cloud environments".
The Head of the Department is S. G. Stirenko, Professor, Doctor of Computer Science.
Science areas: Information technology, information and communication technologies in education, mathematics and software of computers systems, mathematical modelling and computational methods, systems with artificial intelligence, system security, systems for automated and computer-aided design, computer systems and components, electronics.
In forming the scientific line of the department, the Department takes account of art. 3 of
"Priorities for Science and Technology in 2020" Law of Ukraine, adopted by Verkhovna Rada
