Trends in the display of information operations in the information space

Annotation
Trend lines of the dynamics of publications in the information space corresponding to information operations were studied. The given dependencies can be used as templates for detecting information operations using pattern recognition tools.

Statement of the problem
Information operations are defined as actions aimed at influencing the enemy’s information and information systems, protecting one’s own information and information systems [1]. Manifestations of information operations are found in many spheres – military, social, economic. Currently, information operations are directly related to influencing people, manipulation.

“Trend” (from the English Trend) is the general trend of changes in the time series under investigation. In this work, we will investigate the trends inherent in publications in network information resources accompanying information operations.

The purpose of the work is to determine the typical trends in the dynamics of publications in the information space, which correspond to information operations…
