• Currently it is an independent state scientific institute, – a budgetary institution for scientific researches


Management

The Institute is governed by Council (elected scientific body)

and Director.

The Council includes 31 member:• 20 members of the Council (10 representatives of the informatics science trend and 10 – of mathematics science trend) are elected by secret ballot

of the scientists of IMI• 10 members of the Council are nominated by the Ministry of science and Education from other state and private institutions• Director of the Institute is also a member of the Council (by post)

• geographic position, • national symbols, • governing institutions, • administrative partition,• other


System of Geographic Information

AKIS (EYE) http://www.akis.mii.lt

It is compact easily used Lithuanian programa aimed at visualization of objects on a digital map as well as data collection and usage.

A component AKIS-AX (ActiveX) has been created that enables as to create efficient internet pages for interactive work with digital maps and GIS capabilities.

The system make it possible to enter adn edit data, to see separate maps in different windows, to vary the scale, to find the object according to its name, to find the shortest distance between objects, etc.


System of Distance Graduate Studies and Scientific Cooperation in the Internet Environment

http://eta.ktl.mii.lt/~mockus/

The system consists of:• theory, • a set of examples,• software meant for work in the internet

The object of studies and research is simulation and optimization of economic, social, and technical systems.

The Lithuanian language termbase

http://www.terminynas.lt

• A database is created that contains the terms of science, technology, art, and other fields with their exhaustive description

• It is meant:- for scientific research work,- for systematizing, normalizing and standardizing the existing terms,- for compiling new term dictionaries and manuals,- for teaching purposes,- as a source of information for translators, editors, and for other purposes

• There are 280 thousand terms in the termbase, transferred from 27 term dictionaries in different fields



http://www.likit.lt/?i=terminija/enciklopedinis_zodynas

THESAURUS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

• It describes computer science terms, words, their combinations most frequently displayed on computer screen, met in teaching means, and notions related with lithuanization of programs. • Using the thesaurus, the notions will be made uniform witch will facilitate computer users, program authors, and translators to understand one another unambiguosly. • The thesaurus of compiuter sciencewas complited in line with the order of the Information Society Development Committee of Lithuania in 2003.

A printed version of the thesaurus was issued.


THE ENGLISH-LITHUANIAN COMPUTER LEXICON

The Lexicon describes computer terms, words, their combinations, most frequently displayed on computer screen or met in teaching means as well as notions related with lithuanization of programs.

4000 word entries are described. A half of them are taken from the Thesaurus of Computer Science, alredy approbated by the State Commission for the Lithuanian Language, the other half presents new words for the first time (marked as “naujas” (new)). The Lexicon is connected with the English-Lithuanian dictionary.

The English-Lithuanian Computer Lexicon was complited by the order of the Information Society Development Committee of Lithuania in 2005. At present it is submitted to the State Commission for the Lithuanian Language for their approval.

Aims of the contest are to encourage pupils to use information technologies in the lerning process more intensively, to attract children to care for computers and their application, to show the advantages provided by them when learning various subjects, to develop pupils’ creativeness, information culture, algorithmic and logic mindset.

About the contest


Lithuanian young mathematican’s school

http://www.mif.vu.lt/ljmm/

The Lithuanian Young Mathematican’s school was reinstated in 1998. Since 1998 already 2727 schoolchildren have graduated from the School.

Objective of the School:• to help Lithuanian schoolchildren extend mathematical knowledge;• to help them lay a solid mathematical basis for the studies in high schools;• to organize schoolchildren’s competitions for solving mathematical problems;• to render information on international contests and promote the participation in them.


Mathematical olympiad class (MOC)

• Organization of mathematical olympiads of Lithuanian schoolchildren• Preparation of schoolchildren for the world mathematical olympiads• Preparation for the contest „Kangaroo“• Preparation and publishing of the teaching and methodological material• Assistance to schools

The teaching and methodological materials

for mathematical olympiads


http://www.kengura.lt/

The first “Kangaroo“ contest took place in France in 1991. In some schools of Lithuania the “Kangaroo“ contest has been held since 1995. Every year 1-2 booklets on the preparation for contest are issued (IMI, TEV).

Every year all the schoolchildren of all schools can take part in the contest

independent of their knowledge of mathematics.

Contest of Young Mathematicans“Kangaroo“

In Lithuania the contest is held at all the schools on the same day in Lithuanian, Russian, Polish, and English languages. The participants are classified into 6 age groups. During 75 min. the schoolchildren are solving up to 30 tasks of different difficulty.The best Lithuanian schoolchildren are awarded diplomas or prizes. The very best ones are invited to mathematical camps or olympiads.


Usage of Lithuanian characters in e-mail messages

http://www.liks.lt/elpaliet/

There emerges more discomfort for those e-mail users who write (or read) in Lithuanian than for those who use other copmputer programs. Elekcronic messages are sent to other people using different mail programs. Therefore the programs of all the correspondents have to be properly adapted. IMI employees together with the Lithuanian Computer Society have set up a web-page with practical advice for e-mail programs users as well as the most suitable e-mail programs and advice how to fit them for work with Lithuanian characters.


Multimedia Centre for Humanities (MCH)http://www.mch.mii.lt/

In collaboration with humanitarians it kas been created:• CDs containing digital archives of Lithuanian dialects and Lithuanian weave patterns,• websites and CDs of ancient scripts and parchments, stored in Lithuanian libraries,• websites and CDs on cultural heritage of national minorities in Lithuania,• the information system of Lithuanian philology heritage Aruodai (Granaries) – i.e. Electronic storage that allows storing and investigation of language, folklore, etnological, archeological, and historical data in a contemporary way.

MCH is engaged in pursuing culture heritage informatics projects by applying the latest IT with a view to present Lithuanian culture heritage in a digital space.

It also organizes training courses on multimedia data handling and correct presentation in a virtual space and also provides the teaching materials in the internet.
