Sustainable project management for multi-agent development of enterprise information systems

Abstract

The paper includes a review of processes in managerial decision-making based on results of multi-agent simulation in development of enterprise information systems. Authors have proposed the multi-agent model, within which agents' actions depend on a hybrid function of preferences. On this basis, authors have formalized the method, with which it is possible to evaluate agents' judgments. The method combines qualitative, quantitative and fuzzy approaches provide by the decision-making theory and the idea of the criteria space divided into sectors. The synthesis of these approaches has made it possible to lower subjective uncertainty inherent in shared managerial decision making. For the multi-agent model, they have drafted event processing algorithms and identified criteria to evaluate simulation results necessary to support decision making in order to identify the most effective option in development of enterprise information system. Authors have also introduced a methodology-related toolkit in the form of software, including the multi-agent model, decision system and optimization module.

Management Cycles: Their Concept, Essence and Role in Modern Economy

“…Information for enterprise resource and product life cycle management systems actively transform into a global strategy of integrated business processes' automation [8]. The specialized programs reduce the processing information and help managers to see the tasks fulfilment by the staff and the mistakes occurrence.…”

Rational selection of performers on IT projects using coordinated paired comparisons

“…Современный уровень научно-технического развития требует применения СППР в самых разнообразных областях [1-3], одной из которых является -управление проектами по разработке и внедрению корпоративных информационных систем (КИС), т.к. это очень трудоемкий и долгий процесс, сопровождающийся рисками, требующий тщательного планирования и анализа каждого управленческого решения [4,5]. Яркий пример такой задачи -выбор одного исполнителя из числа свободных для решения очередной задачи.…”
