He received his degree of Engineer from Moscow Power Engineering Institute in 1977, PhD in Computer Science in 1987 from Institute of Control Sciences, Russian Academy of Science. Currently Professor Igor Schagaev is Director of ITACS Ltd, UK.
Igor was keynotes speaker for several International conferences and Congresses:
Dynamic Safety of Aircrafts, IFAC’98, (Patras)
Fault Tolerance Past Present and Future IFAC’99, (Sofia)
Real Time Reliable Distributed Systems CWANC’12 (Hainan)
Active Control, Safety and Maintenance Flight Global Safety’15(London)
Active System Control Flight Global Safety’16 (London)
Role of Technology, ISPI Annual Conference’17, (Montreal)
Igor worked, collaborated and also as consultant provided his expertise to corporations and government agencies, including:
Sukhoy Design Bureau (Design of avionics and safety systems)
Boeing (On fault tolerant avionic design and safety systems)
Airbus (On active system safety for aircrafts)
Sweden Government (On efficiency of research programs)
Igor and his team made an industrial prototype of active system safety, see

60+ papers and seven books were published, including the most recent published by Springer-Nature: Resilient Computer System Design, Software Design for Resilient Computers, Active System Control (Resilient Systems design). See more:

In the early 80’s Professor Schagaev has introduced a concept of dynamic safety system for moving vehicles, later prototyped for Sukhoy (94) and extended for other aircrafts worldwide. Some bits of this approach now are known as “health monitoring systems”. Later, when essential theory and math methods: graph logic model, cortege of dependency matrix (information, states and object elements) have became developed a new theory of active system control has emerged. Some solutions were protected by patent on “Method of active conditional control”: http://www.it-acs.co.uk/files/GB2448351B.pdf.
Igor was a scientific leader of ONBASS project (Grant of FP6 EC 2004-08), known as an author of theory of active system control, and Evolving Reconfigurable System and Architecture systems and approaches;
8 PhD and DBA students were completed under Igor’s supervision, with a few in progress (in Greenwich University, UK).
His recent activities have attracted 9000+ researchers worldwide:
Academia.edu session “On evolving systems, theory and applications” became one of the largest known at portal: https://www.academia.edu/s/4cd5ae8775
ACM Elearnmag paper on application of self-organizing, evolving curriculum design – follow-up of Worldcomp14 presentations exceeded 7500+ downloads over two years: http://elearnmag.acm.org/featured.cfm?aid=2611524
Books published since 2013 gained –over 9 thousands downloads
The Role of Technology sessions https://www.academia.edu/s/d220081052/the-role-of-technology
Igor’s current research interests are: the role of technology (including an impact of the technology on our evolution), evolving systems from concept and essential theory down to system design, active system control theory and implementation, advanced computer architectures, , system software, quantitative software engineering, active econometric monitoring and self-evolving curriculum design for HE.
