The goal of the INFROM project is to develop a universal common intelligent platform in order to unify efforts of specialists from Russia and Latvia to protect the environment, based on integrated space-ground monitoring. The project addresses the topical problem of integrated real-time monitoring and control of cross-border natural-technological systems (NTS) in normal and emergency situations based on heterogeneous data received from space and ground-based facilities. The known monitoring and control methods had been developed for specific natural-technological systems and are, therefore, applicable only to specific features of a system. The rapid increase of the complexity of modern facilities provides the increase of control parameters and the need of processing high-dimensional telemetry data sets. Thus, the lack of universal intelligent information technology complicates monitoring and control of complex systems, especially in case of an emergency situation. In order to fill this gap, the following major objectives are formulated in the project: 1) Development of intelligent information technology (IIT) for integrated real-time space-ground monitoring and control of NTS; 2) Development and approbation of tools for integrated monitoring and control (IM&C) based on the data received from space and ground-based facilities. The project is aimed at resolving the contradictions between the existing technological levels of space systems, global opportunities provided by them, and inadequate usage of results related to space activities in order to ensure cross-border cooperation between Russian Federation and the Republic of Latvia. By implementing the above-mentioned objectives, it is expected to obtain: 1) multi-model approach aimed at describing the functionality of NTS, as well as integrated monitoring and control system in normal and emergency situations; 2) method and algorithm for dynamical reconfiguration of NTS; 3) method for integrating information received from different data space and ground-space sources; 4) methods and algorithms for a structure-functional synthesis of monitoring and control systems; 5) universal tools for integrated intelligent monitoring and control; 6) unified monitoring workstations network. One of the major achievements of the project is to create a unified information and intellectual space for cross-border communication at all levels, including different specialists, levels of government and civil oversight. Consequently, the humanization of civilian control and creation of a social network will be ensured.
