Discussions were held at the Institute of Information Technology of the Ministry of Science and Education on the subject "Evaluation of the impact of state-citizen mutual satisfaction on the country's cybersovereignty."

AZERTAC reports that Gunay Isgandarli, Senior Researcher at the institute and a PhD in Technical Sciences, delivered a speech discussing the role of state-citizen mutual satisfaction in ensuring cybersovereignty within a digital state environment.

G. Isgandarli stated that existing approaches are primarily focused on evaluating citizens' satisfaction with public services. She emphasized that considering both sides' perspectives is crucial for an objective assessment of state-citizen relations.

The speaker highlighted that the study analyzed existing approaches and indicators used to measure citizen satisfaction. Furthermore, a conceptual model for assessing state-citizen mutual satisfaction was proposed, based on the rights and obligations of the state as well as the rights and duties of citizens as enshrined in the constitution. This model enables a comprehensive analysis of mutual relations within the context of both parties' rights and responsibilities.

According to her, ensuring mutual satisfaction between the state and citizens contributes significantly to reinforcing trust, enhancing governance efficiency, and strengthening cybersovereignty. Conversely, dissatisfaction between the parties can negatively impact national security and the quality of governance processes.

Academician Rasim Alguliyev, Vice-President of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) and Director General of the Institute of Information Technology under the Ministry of Science and Education, was a guest on the “We Have News” program on Public Television.

During the program, Academician Rasim Alguliyev discussed key issues related to children's social media usage, age restrictions, and the protection of their rights and interests in the virtual space, noting that digital technologies, mobile phones, and computers have become an integral part of human life. He emphasized that the compulsive use of modern technologies and the internet causes sleep and health problems, withdrawal from social and family relationships, neglect of education, and the development of various addictions.

The scientist said ensuring children's safety in virtual spaces has become a global problem, noting that certain malicious entities and computer games pose specific risks to children and teenagers. He highlighted that in addition to refining legislative mechanisms to regulate such processes, joint action among parents, educational institutions, society, and relevant authorities is essential.

Institute employees’ article published in prestigious Springer journal

An article co-authored by Associate Professor Rashid Alakbarov, PhD in Technical Sciences, and Executive Director at the Institute of Information Technology of the Ministry of Science and Education (MSE), and Mammad Hamidov, a PhD student at the institute, has been published in the Journal of Electrical Systems and Information Technology, indexed in the prestigious Springer database. This article proposes a mathematical model based on the edge computing paradigm to minimize network latency in cyber-physical transportation systems.

According to the model, primary data processing is performed at edge nodes located near road intersections, thereby reducing the data volume transmitted to the cloud and increasing real-time decision-making speed. The results indicate that the edge-based architecture enables more stable and efficient management of traffic flow during morning peak hours.

Additionally, it should be noted that the Journal of Electrical Systems and Information Technology is indexed in databases such as the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS), DOAJ, EBSCO, and INSPEC, among others.

"Today, mastering probability theory, mathematical statistics, mathematical logic, higher algebra, and other mathematical methods is essential for gaining deep knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence. From this perspective, organizing roundtables and conducting scientific discussions with the participation of scientific and educational institutions, as well as relevant government agencies, regarding the education of AI and mathematics, alongside the training of highly qualified specialists in these areas, is of great significance," academician Rasim Alguliyev, Vice-President of ANAS and Director General of the Institute of Information Technology under the Ministry of Science and Education, said in a statement to AZERTAC.

The academician noted that in the modern era, AI technologies have become one of the main drivers of global development, and that revolutionary processes are taking place in the field of digitalization worldwide. He highlighted that consistent, systematic measures in this direction are being implemented in Azerbaijan and that President Ilham Aliyev has adopted important state programs, strategies, and other legal documents.

The scientist added that the establishment of the Digital Development Council under the chairmanship of the First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva, in accordance with the relevant decree of the Head of State, is of strategic importance. He said the Council's primary objective is to accelerate digital transformation in the country, build a digital state infrastructure aligned with new AI-based architectural requirements, and ensure balanced development across all sectors of society.

The article “Detecting and countering battery-depletion attacks in wearable medical devices,” authored by Shakir Mehdiyev, chief engineer at the Institute of Information Technology of the Ministry of Science and Education, has been published in the International Journal of Information and Computer Security, which is indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.

The paper highlights that as modern wearable medical devices (WMDs) become increasingly complex and interconnected, they face serious new security risks. In particular, life-sustaining devices such as pacemakers, insulin pumps, and neurostimulators are critically dependent on a stable power supply, making them potential targets for battery-draining threats.

The study explores the possible causes of increased energy consumption in the context of sensor operation, computational processes, and cyberattacks on communication modules. To counter these vulnerabilities, the paper proposes an approach that combines adaptive power management with a lightweight intrusion detection system tailored to the specific characteristics of WMDs. The article emphasizes the importance of applying energy-efficient and proactive strategies to enhance the resilience of these devices against potential cyber-physical threats.

Additionally, it should be noted that the International Journal of Information and Computer Security has an impact factor of 0.6.
