Anatoliy A. Morozov

Chief Designer of the automated control system of the "Lviv" manufacturing project and the "RADA" system, Morozov is a cybernetics scientist, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Dr. Sci. Tech., and Professor. He is also a Doctor of the International Academy of Computer Science and the Academy of Technological Sciences of Russia, President of the Academy of Technological Sciences of Ukraine, and an Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine. Born in Kiev, in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union (in present-day Ukraine), Morozov has been recognized as a follower of the noted Ukrainian cyberneticist Victor Glushkov.

He deserved recognition for his work as the Chief Designer of the automated control system of the "Lviv" manufacturing project. Glushkov served as the supervisor of studies on this project, and also intricately involved were Dr. Skurihin and Dr. Shkurba. In 1970, Morozov, Glushkov, and the collective developers of the system "Lviv" were awarded the State Award of the Ukrainian Socialist Republic.

Beginning May 1, 1986, he became involved in the liquidation of consequences resulting from the failure of the Chernobyl atomic power station, working directly in the failure-zone for the greater part of a year. For this work, he received the gratitude of B. Shcherbina, Chair of the Governmental Commission and Vice-President of the Ministerial Council of the USSR, who wrote of his active participation in the liquidation of consequences of the Chernobyl failure. Morozov was also honored with the Award of the Labour Red Banner for his work during the liquidation of the Chernobyl Atomic Power Station.

In 1986, he also headed "The Special Design Bureau of Mathematical Machines and Systems" of "The Institute of Cybernetics Academy of Sciences" of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. During this time, Morozov organized the Special Design Office of Experts of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and also organized the ministries and departments of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic concerning the situational forecasting of radiation pollution of the Dnipro River and the territory of Ukraine. Thanks to the work of this group, administrative decisions were made which prevented polluted waters from reaching the River Dnieper, from which half the population of Ukraine draws its water.

He has served as the Chief Designer of the system "RADA," a hardware/software complex for the support of decisions by public authorities at various levels. For this accomplishment, Morozov and a group of developers were presented the State Award of Ukraine in 1998. This decision-support system for the legislative process of the Parliament of Ukraine ("Verkhovna Rada") and the councils of various levels—known as RADA—was intended for the information service of deputies through the preparation and carrying out of plenary sessions, the automation of the voting process, and the recording of session operations. During the period between plenary sessions, DDS RADA-3 provided connection with databases of other levels and was used for works of various functions, such as the filling and support of current databases and the formation of bases for the preparation of bills. RADA-3 is a unique high-class congress system for the post-Soviet territory, and was introduced by various councils at different state levels in Ukraine and in several other countries; more than twenty such systems came into use.

The "Situational Centre" was a further modern creation of his. Morozov also founded and has led the scientific school known as "The Theory and Practice of the Creation of Intellectual Automated Systems of Support and the Acceptance of Collective Decisions."
