The center was founded by the team of the Department of Hierarchical systems from the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The team gathers deep experience in applying control strategies in different domainds. The Center now is oriented to the services, related with Transportation systems. The team, supporting the Center has experience in tasks, related to the design, test and validation informational solutions for transport management systems, freight deliveries, control of traffic flows. The center can offer expertise to his partners and clients for solving problems in system developments, management and control policies, decision making, design and implementation of information and control systems for the transportation domain. The expertise of the team is based on active project developments on National and International levels as to EC funded programs and projects since FP4 till FP7.

The key actions of the Center concern advanced and applied research in IT; analysis, design, programming and implementation of large-scale information systems for e-learning, industry and public administration; IT consultant, automatic control and management; “turnkey” systems delivery upon users’ requests; software development; training and knowledge improvement in IT; technical assistance in implementing software products; implementation and deployment of IT and computer systems and network solutions; solutions of practical problems for transport systems, traffic flow control, on-line management and optimisation. The Center is working on the information technology market in Bulgaria on WAN solutions, concerning electronic data interchange (EDI), e-commerce solutions, B2B tools, on-line information services, portal developments, Web design, distributed search through heterogeneous network, e-services through Internet and also in the field of Data Mining, Knowledge Extraction from Real Data Sets for Complex Processes.

The Center can provide on request training and education for the domain of transportation, information technologies and electronic business.
