Post-photography as Visual Artifact and Communication Strategy: New Challenges for Social (Cultural) Anthropology
The paper is focused on the possibility of introduction of «post-photography» (identified often as digital photography) as visual images of a new type that testify appearance, development, and functioning of network communities. It is supposed that postphotography understood as a set of special communicating processes becomes a new perspective for social (cultural) anthropology which aims at studying the new type of social connectedness.
Different types of graph models for network community information-resource potential modeling are considered. Both the agent structure and the information structure of the network community are described. Hypotheses of the influence spread on the basis of the graph models are put forward. Dynamic behavior of the network community is described.
The present paper is devoted to the research into the topical questions of network evolution modeling considering the constant changes in the data environment as well as the data exchange rate. A two-level approach to the network community analysis based on the division into macro- and micro-levels of monitoring is suggested. Functionality of both levels is described. Suggestions for investigation and modeling of data flows in a network represented by a dynamical system of message senders and recipients are presented.

Principles of designing adaptive discriminator video signal to increase the quality (accuracy and reliability) of digital TV images in the process of their registration.
The variants of their digital and analog schematic realizations are proposed.
The necessity of the network evolution control for communities of practice as well as its potential possibility is described. Questions of the appropriate dataware and software building are considered. A description of a software complex (including its main units) based on a semantic relationship server is provided. The main problems which are supposed to be solved using this application are marked out.
There is a review and analysis of methods for digital image retrieval in this paper.
