l975, he has served as a board member of the GKNT General Assembly. In 1984,
he received the USSR State Prize in Technology for his work--with others--for the
development and introduction of management systems with the use of computers.
His main works are on the theory of automatic control systems, the principles of
building and designing automation equipment, the selection of structures for
integrated engineering systems, and the theory of design, analysis and quality
evaluation. (GSE 30, p. 557.)
