Knowledge based design of convergent systems of situational management

Abstract

Abstract. Aimful activity is based on knowledge, and this knowledge includes both general and situational-specific knowledge of the target domain. The use of knowledge in relevant areas of activity ensures the effectiveness of the process of creating a system of situational management. The design of a modern integrated system of situational management is focused on its purpose and is controlled by events, and such systems must be specifically configured to solve actual problems in various situations. Design is a stage in the life cycle of developing a system and implements the process of determining the system architecture in accordance with its purpose and meeting certain requirements. Situational management activities related to the consolidation and processing of information of heterogeneous origin for obtaining semantic information. The implementation and harmonization of various components of the organization’s activities into a single architecture is carried out by convergence. Convergence can be achieved on the basis of a hierarchical modeling approach by creating a system of models describing various aspects of the target system of situational management using an appropriate knowledge model. Processes of convergence are based on useful values and principles accumulated by various technologies during their development. The process of situational management can be considered as a chain of increasing the value of information, and the situational decision is essentially an information product. The paper discussed an approach based on knowledge of situational management and the design of situational management systems. The result of the situational management process can be considered as an information product of the project activity. The paper proposes architectural models for constructing convergent systems of situational management using the knowledge of the subject area.
