Abstract:

The object of research are decision support systems. The subject of research is the decision-making process in management problems using bio-inspired algorithms. A method for the search of solutions in the field of national security using bio-inspired algorithms is proposed. The proposed method is based on a combination of an artificial bat algorithm and evolving artificial neural networks. The method has the following sequence of actions: ‒ input of initial data; ‒ processing of initial data taking into account the degree of uncertainty; ‒ numbering of bat agents (BA); ‒ placement of bat agents taking into account the degree of uncertainty about the state of the analysis object in the search space; ‒ setting the initial BA speed and the echolocation frequency of each BA; ‒ starting a local search; ‒ launching a global search; ‒ training knowledge bases of bat agents. The originality of the proposed method consists in the arrangement of bat agents taking into account the uncertainty of initial data, improved global and local search procedures taking into account the noise degree of data about the state of the analysis object. Another feature of the proposed method is the use of an improved procedure for training bat agents. The training procedure consists in learning the synaptic weights of an artificial neural network, the type and parameters of the membership function, the architecture of individual elements and the architecture of the artificial neural network as a whole. The method makes it possible to increase the efficiency of data processing at the level of 13–21 % due to the use of additional improved procedures. The proposed method should be used to solve the problems of evaluating complex and dynamic processes in the interests of solving national security problems Author Biographies Volodymyr Koval, General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine PhD, Senior Researcher, Deputy Chief
