Nauchnye issledovaniya v oblasti teorii dvoichnykh dinamicheskikh sistem, provodimye v laboratorii tekhnicheskoy informatiki i telemekhaniki kafedry sistem upravleniya i informatiki Sankt-Peterburgskogo natsional'nogo issledovatel'skogo universiteta informatsionnykh tekhnologiy, mekhaniki i optiki, obnaruzhili potentsial rasshireniya funktsional'nykh vozmozhnostey dvoichnykh dinamicheskikh sistem putem vklyucheniya v ikh sostav dopolnitel'nykh ustroystv kommutatsii, chto pozvolilo sozdat' novyy tip dvoichnykh ustroystv diskretnoy avtomatiki, zanimayushchikh promezhutochnoe polozhenie mezhdu lineynymi i nelineynymi dvoichnymi dinamicheskimi sistemami (mikroprogrammnymi avtomatami). Dannoe napravlenie leglo v osnovu issledovaniy, orientirovannykh na zadachu razrabotki apparatnykh i algoritmicheskikh sredstv pomekhozashchity, primenitel'no k sistemam distantsionnogo tsifrovogo upravleniya unikal'nym ob"ektom v rezhime on-line s ispol'zovaniem protokola PPP kanal'noy sredy.
