I was born on February, 9 1983 in the nice Ukrainian city Donetsk. This significant event did not remain unnoticed by the nature: I was born at 23.20, and the next morning all Donetsk was covered with a thick layer of snow. Probably, because of this I am always so glad to the first snow.

I do not remember my childhood. Absolutely. If I know something, then it is only from the stories of my parents. They say, that I didn’t differ with anything special, only learned to count early (money, probably …) and periodically got mum how it is necessary to bring me up. In kindergarten, they tell, used to have special attention from the female half of our institution. Special because it was basically teachers who loved me very much, and little girls-contemporaries, which me, on the contrary, bit.

Under influence of all these circumstances my children's predilections were formed. Desires to be the cosmonaut and the reconnaissance officer had passed by me, but trades of the race driver, the artist, and the seller in grocery shop were my favorite. With the race driver it has failed – good luck for the people, as the artist I did not realized myself because of the parents – after the next 30-meter lorry drawn by me (and I drew basically lorries, probably, because of desire to become the race driver, and not less than 25 meters in length – I do not know because of what, perhaps it is some complex) they have decided to teach me to read. After that only one dream left. Unfortunately, 5-years boys are seldom taken on as sellers, furthermore in grocery shops, but I shall hope, that everything is ahead for me (coming back to a question on prospects for the nearest years).

In 1990 the carefree part of my childhood ended, and I went to school. It was really interesting. The most difficult for me was to understand a difference between spelling in Ukrainian and Russian languages that immediately influenced on the marks in these subjects. However, in the fifth class everything reached me up, and I became the excellent pupil. You don’t say! :-)

In the second form parents sent me to English lessons, so the expression “The sun is shining brightly” came to my life whether as a natural condition of the nature or as a gloomy sensation of necessity to do the home task (however in that time I did not know German yet…). Where I went more, I do not remember, in my memory there are only dances in the sixth class so now I know "Point", "Samba" and many other terrible words… (Though, it is necessary to tell, it is not so bad. One my friend during training at school has managed to study English, music, tennis, ping-pong, mathematics and (horror!) navigation on canoes!).

On school front everything was not so smoothly. First I was fond of mathematics. Studied mathematical problems. Then physics. Studied the nature. Then chemistry. Until now has not understood what studied. Has stopped on computer sciences, that has predetermined my further destiny in sense of higher education.

For I have thought, have thought, and have come to the conclusion, that the economist from me is useless, the mathematician is boring, the physicist is mediocre, the chemist is unpromising, and on sellers in shops, even grocery, they do not teach at the university, so nothing left except as to be engaged in computers. The most difficult for me was to choose one of the numerous computer specialties. I have stopped on “System programming” as far as hardware maintenance has never interested me much, and development of applied programs makes me feel melancholically. Till now I do not regret...

If to speak about the future I have not finally decided. I cannot decide definitely, whether I should engage myself seriously in distributed simulation and development of different approaches to design of software systems, or make the children's dream come true and devote myself thoroughly to the grocery shops. Meanwhile the first seems to be a more preferable. However, I accept any offers how to combine these two affairs.

Fortunately, my ideas on grocery shops didn’t prevented me to choose a theme of my scientific work and to carry out the project on this theme. This work I wrote during half-year practice on 9th semester in Germany at the Stuttgart university. This work was written in English and the theme was «Analysis and Conception of Coordination and Collaboration Mechanisms for Agent Oriented Systems». The purpose of the project was fundamental research in the field coordination and cooperation mechanisms for the agent-oriented systems. For this purpose, I have carried out the analysis and classification of existing mechanisms of coordination and cooperation. Then, as far as the developed approach to coordination is applied to automation system for the flexible production environment, I also have described and analyzed such environment. Last and most important stage of my work was the development of coordination and activity selection mechanisms for the production systems.

Sound terrible, doesn’t it? :-) Actually it is much easier, than it seems to be at the first sight. Besides the theme is very interesting, and work on it made me learn a lot of interesting things. I even have forgotten for a while about my dream of childhood to work as the seller in grocery shop!

By the way, it is written in more details about this work at my master’s Web site, and I am always very glad to visitors.

Well, perhaps that is all. Finally, the most interesting section of the creative autobiography comes. So, dreams: the three-floor house …, seven Mercedeses …, three wives … and pool with sea water … owned by my best friend. And for me it is enough to have a little car and cozy house, the loving wife and the cheerful son. The most important is to live gently. On the professional side, it is desirable to finish the university, to pass postgraduate study, to work on the development of scientific projects in the various countries. Besides Ukraine, Germany and the USA also represent my special interest. Sure, we will meet there!

P.S. Interestingly, are sellers in grocery shops necessary in these countries?
