Moscow’s MISiS applies 3D technology to complex systems analysis

The project team led by Prof. Vladimir Krivonozhko is said to have developed technology that enables analysis of ways countries, regions, corporations, banks, municipalities, educational institutions, public utilities, agribusinesses and other entities operate. The method is believed to facilitate faster and more informed decision-making.

"The solution is unparalleled elsewhere in the world as it applies direct methods to studying complex integrated systems by visualizing functions and a broad variety of analysis indicators—a fast track to enhancing the accuracy of research into corporate and government efficiency from what we have today with indirect methods," Prof. Krivonozhko explained.

According to the scientist, the new system is designed to be able to defuse possible guesswork and inaccuracies, making it likely to identify a true position of a certain object among many like ones in a multidimensional system based on this object’s key performance indicators. Visualization is expected to considerably reduce time for decision-making; for example, it makes it possible to determine how to solidify a company’s market position, how high a university really ranks globally, etc.
