Research direction and characteristics of the discipline:

The discipline has formed a number of stable researches, such as image processing and computer vision, intelligent computing and optimum design theory, network and information security technology, database and management information systems, computer graphics, and CAD. As for the exploiting environment of Daqing Oilfield, researchers provide solution to the problem of dynamic monitoring of oil field measurement parameters with the new detection method. For the requirements of industrial design of CNC machine tools, electrical meters and other electrical products, the staff have developed three-dimensional physical system CAID, and applied it to the industry. Vulnerability classification model is established and CVE classification database system is developed, which has been used in National Network andInformationSecurityManagementCenter. The staff of the discipline established data dependent of relational database and standardized model with null values, and proposed a new “relationship model with null values”,axiom system accordingly and a series theory of relational databases with null values. We presented the scheduling algorithm, Critical Path Method, Compact Method of Key Equipment, Dynamic Virtual Technology Method, and Minimum Processing Time Method, which can solve the special scheduling and optimization problems in production processes.
