Now, we are launching a new international conference called
High Technologies History and Development (see HISTHIGHTECH). The major theme of the conference is advanced technologies and their impact on societal development: origins, history of development, current situation, and prospects. According to the conference's format, only review reports and reports relevant to the solution of a key scientific topic will be presented.

Another topic that is currently in the focus of my interests is the concept of the "Museum of One Computer". (See open access MoC). Conceptually, MoS can become the basis for creating an independent museum of the history of the era, in the center of which may be the history of the creation of a computer (or, in principle, any monument of technology). This concept can be applied to create a unique exhibition, that should become the center of the department in the Polytechnic Museum. This concept can be applied to create a traveling exhibition. This concept can be realized not only as a traditional museum of material exposition from a bygone era, but also as a virtual interactive museum.

My areas of interest are
Computer Science
History of Science
History of Computer Science
History of Computing
Сomputer Museums
Virtual Museums
Interactive Museums

En&T conferences

From 2017 to 2021, I was the creator and organizer of the International Conferences on Engineering Technology and Informatics (En&T), which was hosted by the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute for the History of Science and Technology with the support of IEEE. Now, we are launching a new international conference called High Technologies History and Development, which we hope will become a tradition. The major theme of the conference is advanced technologies and their impact on societal development: origins, history of development, current situation, and prospects. According to the conference's format, only review reports and reports relevant to the solution of a key scientific topic will be presented.
