Graf-Dynamic Modeling of Organizational-Technical Systems Based on the Triad Agents
- Abstract
- Relevance. The network structures are the interacting agents that widely used in various subject areas. Agent behavior is determined by several key factors: the goal of the agent; its priorities; the external and internal situation; the actions to achieve the objectives; the main parameters of the agent, which determine its state. Goals, actions and parameters form a triad – «the triad agent». The structure of this agent has three subsystems, which are formalized based on the theory of Petri nets – the purposes graph, the actions graph and the parameters graph. The main graph is the action graph, which switches in discrete moments of time when certain logical conditions are satisfied. If the action graph takes switching then there is activation of a new action. This action may be the transition to a new action, or changing of the agent settings or changing of the agent goals. Thus, the triad agent is network with dynamic behavior, which allows describing a wide class of dynamic processes in organizational-technical systems. Thus the complex organizational-technical systems are characterized by a large number of parameters that are difficult to place in a graph of a single agent. However, the number of goals and actions in the organizational-technical system is substantially less than the number of its parameters. Thus, complex organizational-technical system, it is advisable to decompose into several parallel functioning triad agents (not more than 7-10). This decomposition ensures the visibility of the model. The purpose of this paper is creating the graf-dynamic model of the triad agents and methods of its research. This is achieved by the solution of the following subtasks. 1) Formalization and analysis of the goals graph, of the actions graph and the agent settings. 2) Formalization and analysis of the relations between the graphs in the agent. 3) Introduction of operations on the agent graphs (the "graph-surgery"). 4) Algebraic (symbolic) graph representation of the agent with the transition from a description in the form of a graph to a symbolic description and back. 5) Formalization and analysis of the relations between agents within the multi-agent triad network. Scientific novelty of the paper is the creation of a new way of building models of organizational-technical system that will simplify its simulation and improve its visibility. In addition, the elements of novelty of the paper include: the research of the mechanism functioning of the triad agents; the rationale of the new method of converting the agent as the "graph-surgery"; the development of an algebraic graph representation as a line of characters (the language of structured Logical Descriptions of Graphs), and operations on them. Practical relevance of the paper is the modeling principles which is used in the software that developed in the Belgorod state technological University n. a. V. G. Shukhov. This software is intended for use by experts for simulation-agent modeling of network structures, and for using at industrial applications.
