TELMAN ABBAS OGLU ALIEV ─ 90
Academician Telman Abbas Aliev, prominent scientist in the field of informatics, Honored Scientist, holder of the “Shohrat” Order, Chief Researcher of the Institute of Control Systems of the Ministry of Science and Education, Advisor of ANAS, turned 90 on May 2.
Telman Aliev was born in 1935 in Goranboy District. In 1953 he was admitted to the Azerbaijan Industrial Institute named after M. Azizbekov, and after graduating from this Institute in 1958 he was assigned to the Computing Center (later the Institute of Cybernetics, now the Institute of Control Systems). Computer engineering industry of the USSR was making its first steps in those years, and in 1960 young Telman Aliev together with a group of young specialists was sent on a long business trip to the city of Ulyanovsk in order to familiarize with the universal large computer of BESM type built in the USSR. He was directly involved in assembly, adjustment, testing and acceptance by the State Commission of the machine intended for Azerbaijan at the plant (Penza) where the BESM-2 machine was manufactured, and in its delivery to Baku. In 1962, the BESM-2 computer was brought to Azerbaijan and put into operation. T. Aliev's invaluable contribution to the formation and operation of the entire computer park, starting from “BESM-2”, deserves special mention. In 1958-1960 T.Aliev was the chief founder of the “Electronic Computing Machines” laboratory in the Computing Center established in Azerbaijan, the second among the republics of the Soviet Union after Ukraine, and headed it until 1976. The activity of this laboratory in those years had a significant impact on the rapid development of informatics in Azerbaijan.
Engaged in serious scientific activity, T. Aliev successfully defended his Candidate's dissertation “Correlation analysis of standard processes in oil refining” at the Bauman Institute of Petrochemistry in 1966 under the supervision of V.V. Solodovnikov, and in 1977 he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation “Coding and correlation analysis of multidimensional random processes in real time” in the specialty “Information Theory and Technical Cybernetics”.
T. Aliev was elected a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences in 1983, a Professor in 1985, and a Full Member of ANAS in 2001.
Telman Aliev gradually climbed to the summit of science. The scientist, who started his career as a laboratory technician, later worked as an engineer, chief engineer, junior and senior researcher, head of the department and computer laboratory, Deputy Director for Science of the Institute, Director of the Institute, Academician-Secretary of the Division of Physical, Mathematical and Technical Sciences of ANAS, member of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission, Scientific Advisor of ANAS.
From the point of view of fundamental science, informatics deals with the creation of abstract methods, models, algorithms and related mathematical theories. Its exclusive function is the study of information transformation processes. Based on these studies, appropriate theories, models, methods and algorithms are created and applied to practical issues. From an industrial point of view, informatics is concerned with the application of the results of basic scientific research. From the point of view of applied discipline, informatics studies regularities of information flow in specific areas and develops methodologies for creation of relevant information systems and technologies. Academician Telman Aliev is one of the scientists who laid the cornerstone of these theories in Azerbaijan and played a special role in their development.
It should be noted that during the years of his directorship at the Institute of Cybernetics, especially since 1989, computerization of the Institute's computer fleet was carried out, and each time outdated computers were gradually replaced by personal computers of XT, AT and Pentium types. Thanks to this approach, the workplaces of researchers and specialists in all laboratories are equipped with computers. The computers of the Institute are linked into a local network and use common resources created on servers with wide capabilities, and each computer has Internet access. Looking back on these processes today, we can say with confidence that the activity of the Institute of Cybernetics has made a significant contribution to the development of the field of informatics in Azerbaijan.
T.A. Aliev is the author of a number of fundamental scientific results in the field of cybernetics and informatics. He proposed theoretical foundations, methods and algorithms that ensure the adequacy of diagnosis, prediction, recognition, mathematical modeling, identification and control problems for real technological processes where classical conditions are not fulfilled. The corresponding algorithms created on the basis of the theories of A.N. Kolmogorov, N. Wiener, A.Y. Khinchin are considered as a special case of T.A. Aliev's algorithms.
He created the theories of robust spectral, robust correlation and robust identification analysis and corresponding information technologies, allowing to exclude the influence of noise on the results of analysis of real signals used in life, as well as proposed new algorithms for mathematical modeling of real objects.
T.A. Aliev is the author of the theory of position-binary information technology, which allows overcoming difficulties in solving a number of problems of periodic and stochastic processes in the field of informatics and creating distributed hierarchical intelligent control and management systems. In recent years, he has substantiated the scientific use of noise as information carriers, created information technology that provides their analysis, and solved a number of globally important and challenging problems.
The results obtained by Academician T. Aliev were consolidated in the form of new scientific directions in cybernetics and informatics in the monographs “Experimental Analysis” and “Fundamentals of Noise Analysis”, which have now become textbooks. It is also worth noting his monographs published by Springer: “Robust Technology with Analysis of Interference in Signal Processing” (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, 2003), “Digital Noise Monitoring of Defect Origin” (Springer, London, 2007) and “Noise Control of the Beginning and Development Dynamics of Accidents” (Springer, 2019). The book "Digital Noise Monitoring of Defect Origin" has been included in the Springer Lectures Notes in Electrical Engineering.
A scientist who devoted his entire life to one institute, he created a powerful school around him. He has prepared 13 Doctors of Sciences and 37 PhDs, authored 462 scientific works, including 35 monographs and 132 patents (inventions).
Academician Telman Aliev was awarded the M.V. Keldysh Medal in 1991, the Shohrat Order in 2004, N. Tusi Prize in 2015. By a decree of the President of the Republic, in 2009 he was awarded the title of Honored Scientist, in 2018, he was awarded the Academician Azad Mirzajanzade International Silver Medal. In 2024, Telman Aliev was also awarded the “100th Anniversary of Heydar Aliyev (1923-2023)” commemorative medal and the Badge of the Council of Elders of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
