The article describes the features that characterize the process of formation of information society in the world. The article presents the results of an analysis of national statistical accounting systems of different states to international methodology. We use the methods for determination the level of development of information society in the country. The methods are important for the elaboration of further recommendations of increase the efficiency of public administration in this area. Accent is made on the next position. The good management decisions require adequate facts, accounting systems and statistics of major indicators. Also, the authors propose an improved model that characterizes the relationship, existing tools and mechanisms for information-communication interaction between the state, business and society in the modern information society. The theoretical and methodological aspects for the calculation of the basic indicators of the development level of the information society that used by the United Nations are given in the article. The authors made the comparative analysis between the statistical indicators of some European countries. The authors analyze the readiness of national governments to use of information and communication technologies in providing of public services and E-government implementation.Special attention paid to the study of the influence of the changes and peculiarities of public administration process in the new social conditions

The paper discusses the modern information methods of solving problems in planning and management of multi-level processing enterprises. Based on analysis of the literature describing the multi-level control system, using the methodology of system analysis performed classification for typical processing enterprise with the seasonal nature of the order book. Analysis of the characteristics of the control object allowed to define it as a complex multi- level and multi-user hierarchical system. To determine an effective strategy to such enterprises must be the creation of information technologies, including the mathematical model prediction of feasibility of solutions in the enterprise strategy for each season, as well as the formation of optimal estimation criteria for these decisions. It identifies the need to develop methods of information and submission of role for the automation of administrative work top and bottom levels of the enterprise. The following topics are examined: systems theory and systems analysis, decision-level problems, multi-criteria tasking management, principles and methods of modeling control systems, principles and methods of identification of mathematical models, optimization methods in problems of industrial control systems and their numerical solution methods, modern algorithms of planning systems and management of existing application packages, suitable for the synthesis of decision support systems

The task of the article is to prove that the problem of searching of the new axiological paradigm as an adequate response to the needs of the new information society, received special, but still little explored development of the understanding of Habermas’ heritage. The special attention of the author is attracted by the desire of the German philosopher to solve urgent social problems by using the notion of communication, where he joined the reasonableness, ethics and freedom. In today’s information society Habermas’ idea of communication is fundamentally important as a significant basis of our moral unity with others, not only close but also distant people. The communicative project of Habermas’ social agreement is coherently reconstructed where the real depends on a voluntary, rational, resisting to manipulation and external compulsion, the approval of this or that statement.

The article describes the different approaches to the understanding of e-culture. When the definition of e-culture, can be used an integrated approach, in which she is seen by the author as a part of the culture represented in digital form. This may be a virtual collection or, for example, net art. Electronic culture can be regarded as a set of practical skills, which must master the modern man. In this case, the electronic culture is manifested in: the ability to find the necessary data in different sources of information; the ability to use in their work computer technology; the ability to allocate in their professional activities and information processes to manage them; in the possession of the basis of analytical information processing and more. We can also consider the electronic culture in the value-ethical implications, as part of the general culture of the person.

Over a period of several thousand years the history of cryptography evolved synchronous to the evolution of mankind. Century after century, encryption of the information became relevant in various spheres of human existence: from the sphere of the sacred to the domestic sphere. The progress of the cryptography and its application due to the development of communication tools. The wide availability of telecommunication facilities has changed the value of the information, making it overvalued, at the same time, increasing the importance of cryptographic solutions. In this article, the author examines the history of cryptography, as well as the factors, which influenced on its progress. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the causes of changes of the informational value, as well as description of the problem areas of the information society in view of recent events. On the author’s opinion, the main factor that influenced on the understanding of the role of cryptography, were the events of 2013.

The task of this interview is to examine the features of media asceticism as a phenomenon of the digital age. The authors answer the questions whether the refusal of the media is a trend, and how much this trend is manifested in Russia compared with Western culture. The relevance of registration the digital etiquette rules and the possible role of media asceticism in these rules were examined in this interview. Also this work answers the question of whether the media asceticism practices serve as a marker of belonging to the elite social class. In connection with this aspect the concept of snobbery media is suggested. Further, in the analysis of the main vectors of media asceticism development, as well as its potential as a tool to bridge the digital divide and improve media literacy. Consider the features of modern media asceticism, the authors attempt to predict the prospects of development of the movement in accordance with the analysis of the rapidly changing realities of the information society.

There are different ways for passing of religious ideas. Church ways are: text, iconographic, liturgical. Secular ways are: hymns, spiritual guitar songs, cartoons, cinema. The genre of fantastic thriller is an extremely unusual form of Christian apology. However, if you get away from it and think over the idea of the movie «Matrix», it is easy behind unusual way to see the true Christian ideas. This article attempts to religious-philosophical understanding of «Matrix» plot structure. The problem is through habitual to discover new, to offer reflections on global issues of our existence. Consumerism or sacrifice? What is christening? Slave luxury or begging at liberty: what is better? What is freedom? What is self-knowledge? What is needed for the resurrection?

A conference is a kind of space for inter-disciplinary dialogue. Indeed, inter-disciplinarity is the mode of existence of modern science. Professionalism of a scientist at the present time is associated not only with narrow specialization, but also with the ability to work at the edge of interface of different disciplines, the ability to provide communication with specialists from related fields of scientific knowledge. Accordingly, special efforts and systematic activities of the research and education community are required to prepare future professionals for participation in inter-disciplinary research and communication in multi-disciplinary communities. The article presents an analytical review of the materials of the VIIIth All-Russian conference of students, post-graduates and young scientists “Artificial Intelligence: Philosophy, Methodology, Innovations”. The article discusses the influence of epistemology and cognitive science onto the methodology of artificial intelligence in the context of inter-disciplinary research in the field of an artificial intelligence
