The article presents a focused analysis of the Russian-language scientific literature of the first decades of the twenty-first century on the problems of the development of social informatics in Russia. The authors have shown that the multidimensionality of social informatics causes an increasing interdisciplinary research interest in the professional community and is divided into four directions. First, researchers refined the conceptual foundations of social informatics. The second direction is devoted to the study of information resources in their dynamics. The third direction considers and analyses digital traces and their use under the conditions of digital transformation. The fourth direction is devoted to the problems of children and young people in the information environment. The authors achieve intermediate results. Firstly, the clarification of the conceptual basis of the study of social informatics is due to the public demand for comprehensive informatization. Secondly, interest in information resources is due to the need for effective organization of data series in information systems. Thirdly, the accounting and analysis of digital traces and their use are due to the public need for collective security. Fourthly, it is necessary to observe the problems of perception and use of digital technologies by children and young people, as well as their socialization in the developing information society. Finally, the authors conclude that the potential of social informatics is increased by an interdisciplinary interest in qualitative changes in Russian society in the context of digital transformation.

The volume of information in the 21st century is growing at a rapid pace. Big data technologies are used to process modern information. This article discusses the use of big data technologies to implement monitoring of social processes. Big data has its characteristics and principles, which reflect here. In addition, we also discussed big data applications in some areas. Particular attention in this article pays to the interactions of big data and sociology. For this, there consider digital sociology and computational social sciences. One of the main objects of study in sociology is social processes. The article shows the types of social processes and their monitoring. As an example, there is implemented monitoring of social processes at the university. There are used following technologies for the realization of social processes monitoring: products 1010data (1010edge, 1010connect, 1010reveal, 1010equities), products of Apache Software Foundation (Apache Hive, Apache Chukwa, Apache Hadoop, Apache Pig), MapReduce framework, language R, library Pandas, NoSQL, etc. Despite this, this article examines the use of the MapReduce model for social processes monitoring at the university.
