What does a profile “in economics” mean?

According to economic profile applied computer science students receive specialization in the following areas:

• configuration and integration of systems on the 1C platform (1C programmer);
• business analytics based on artificial intelligence systems (business analyst);
• development of distributed systems based on Web protocols (Web developer).

There is a constantly growing demand for specialists in these areas, which guarantees the employment of graduates.

Typical tasks that a 1C programmer solves

Administration of 1C databases;
Automation of company activities;
Setting up and administering various configurations based on 1C;
Programming based on 1C

Russia is automated mainly on 1C

1C programmer – the most sought-after programmer in Russia.

Demand for programmers in November 2017 (according to superjob.ru and hh.ru)

In terms of the number of vacancies, 1C programmers have been leading for several years on a variety of job sites. At the same time, the average salary of 1C programmers is second only to the salary of C++ and DB programmers.

Demand for programmers in 2017

1C programmers are generally the most sought-after IT specialists in Russia since 2009. This is not surprising, since the 1C system is used by 1.5 million Russian enterprises.
The largest increase in wages over the past ten years has also been observed for 1C programmer vacancies. In terms of salary, on average, 1C programmers are second only to C++ and C# programmers, but the demand for the latter is much less. There are vacancies for 1C programmers in any city in Russia.

Note that B.G. Nuraliev, one of the founders of the 1C company and its director, has a specialty automated control systems– this is what applied computer science in economics was previously called.

B.G. Nuraliev is one of the founders of the 1C company

It can be argued that in the future the need for 1C programmers will only grow. In the Russian integrated systems market, the 1C system has shown steady growth since 2004.

Share of 1C corporate system implementations in Russia

Since 2013, the share of automated jobs in Russia has exceeded 1C by 83%. It can be said that Russia is largely automated using 1C.

Level of mastery of the profession

The 1C company has adopted a sequential certification system.

1C company certificates

We prepare students at the level of knowledge of the 1C Professional certificate.

In addition, our students have been winning prizes in various competitions held by 1C for many years.

International competition of diploma projects using the 1C platform

In 2015, our student Oksana Parfenova took 5th place in the All-Russian competition among professionals 1C, the final of which took place in Nizhny Novgorod.

What is business analytics

The reality of modern business is working in a huge flow of data. This reality is even designated by the special term BigData. Turning this abundance of data into a resource that generates revenue or reduces costs requires data collection, processing, and analysis.

Business Intelligence (BI) is a business technology aimed at monetizing data.

Business analysts are top-class specialists who are on the list of the most “advanced” IT specialties.

According to forecasts, of the six most dynamically developing IT specialties in the United States, as many as three specialties are related to analytics - analytical analysts will occupy 3 places out of the six6 most developing

To improve a business, you must first understand it, and this requires analyzing the data that the enterprise has: business data. These types of problems arise in the following areas.

Retail

• shopping cart analysis
• study of temporary sales patterns (temporal patterns)
• demand forecasting

Banking

• customer segmentation
• forecasting clientele changes
• calculation of loan fees

Telecommunications

• identification of categories of clients with stereotypes of using services

Typical tasks of a business analyst (based on requests for vacancies on superjob.ru)

Collection and analysis of customer requirements;
- conducting research;
- business process modeling (BPMN, EPC, IDEF, UML languages);
- analysis of large volumes of data;
- development of databases for production management systems;
- setting technical specifications for software development or modification;
- building processes for collecting, storing and analyzing data;
- programming machine learning systems.

Typically, business data is not very organized, and there is usually a lot of this data. To analyze business data, special methods and technologies are used, called Data Mining(data mining). These methods are associated with the general theoretical disciplines of computer science and mathematics

Connection Data methods Mining with the disciplines of computer science and mathematics

In addition to studying the general theory of Data Mining at the Department of Applied Informatics, students receive specific skills for working in the domestic analytical platform Deductor from Base Group Labs. As of 2016, this platform ranks second in Russia among analytical platforms in terms of the number of implementations.

Research by master's students of NNGASU

In addition to in-depth study of business analytics and 1C programming, masters of applied informatics take part in scientific research in various applied areas. Below are examples of some master's studies:

Development of conversion algorithms geographical coordinates for geographic information system

Algorithms implemented in JavaScript are used to link geographic coordinates in Yandex maps with graph coordinates of waterways used in voyage planning systems of river shipping companies.

Determining a suitable algorithm for calculating distances using auxiliary programs written in C and using the getDistance function built into Yandex.Maps.

​

Development of an environmental monitoring system Eco-routs

The environmental monitoring system was developed by master's student D. Stepanov in collaboration with the UNESCO International Chair at NNGASU in 2016. The system is available at https://eco-routes.appspot.com.

With its help, you can determine the level of exceeding the maximum permissible concentration when driving in a traffic jam.

​

Development of a system for predicting the results of eSports tournaments based on Data Mining methods

In traditional sports, several data analysis methods are used to determine the chances of winning: those based on a predictive rating system, for example, the Elo rating. The same methods can be used in eSports disciplines. But this method is too inaccurate, and most serious forecasts are calculated using proprietary methods and systems that are not publicly available. Therefore, there is a problem in constructing a methodology for such forecasting.

The research was carried out by master's student M. Razuvaev in two stages.

Stage 1 Development of a process for collecting and processing data to predict the results of eSports tournaments: developing a parser program, cleaning the data and converting it to a single convenient format for further loading into a data warehouse.

2. Stage. Creating a forecasting model based on one of the Data Mining algorithms: building several neural networks, testing the forecast quality.

The study's forecast for one of the largest tournaments turned out to be more accurate than the usual Elo rating.
