Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University held the VIII Annual Forum “IT-IDEA”, initiated by the Head of the Department, Professor Oleksandr Riazantsev.
Traditionally, students (both bachelors and masters) took an active part in the forum together with their supervisors, scientists of the department. It was a good opportunity for them to demonstrate their own scientific results, to receive guidance on the further development of their ideas, developments and research.
This year a wide range of reports was presented, namely on the creation of web-applications of various topics, mobile and gaming, three-dimensional modeling, machine learning, risk analysis of information systems, development of decision support systems, etc.
The reports of the participants were divided into sections:
- IT for learning and work
- Research in the IT industry
- Robotics
- Applications for smartphones, services
- Game technologies and leisure
Since the issue of the development and use of unmanned aerial vehicles is currently extremely relevant and promising in various fields, the projects “Application of quadrocopter in field research” by Ivan Pushkin (supervisor Barbaruk L.V.) and “Wireless technologies of the quadrocopter control system” by Danylo Matiuk (supervisor Derkach M.V.) caused a lively discussion.
The section “IT for study and work” presented projects useful in terms of self-education (especially in terms of distance learning): “Website for learning foreign languages” by Kateryna Esmont, Roman Kartamyshev and Maria Pushkina (supervisor Shcherbakov E.V.) and “Creating a chatbot “PYTHON Programming” by Daria Kovalenko and Elizaveta Romenska (supervisor Shcherbakov M.E.). The project “Service for integrating class schedules into GOOGLE CALENDAR” by Oleksii Myshko (supervisor Derkach M.V.) allows you to integrate the schedule of classes of Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University into the Google calendar so that the student does not miss a single class.
Development of computer games and work with 3D graphics are promising areas in the programming industry and interesting for modern youth. Probably, that is why most of the projects were in the sections “Applications for smartphones, services” and “Game technologies and leisure”. The forum participants presented and discussed projects on this topic: “Creation of cinematics based on the game engine UNREAL ENGINE 5 with the help of various 3D editors” by Vladyslav Pomeshchik (supervisor Krytska Y.O.), “Creation of the game “SHOOT IN SKY” by Mykhailo Tsybulskyi (supervisor Derevianchenko V.S.) and “2D UNITY GAME” by Serhii Kniazev (supervisor Barbaruk L.V.). The project “Service of recreation and tourism in Luhansk region “Planet” by Artem Bondarenko (supervisor Khoroshun G.M.) reminded everyone that our Luhansk region has amazing places.
At the IT-forum, projects were also presented by masters studying in the specialties 122 Computer Science and 123 Computer Engineering. Their works, although more research in nature, aroused interest among the audience. The speakers presented the results of their work, answered questions, received advice and possible ideas for their further research.
The greatest pride of the forum were the participants. The organizers were pleasantly impressed by the level of theses and speeches prepared by them, active discussion of the results of the reports and mutual support. Many of them participate in the forum not for the first time, and their developments have further continuation in the form of works at all-Ukrainian competitions, in scientific publications, etc.
All participants of the forum received certificates. According to the results of the event it is planned to publish a collection of abstracts.
