Industrial Automatic Control Systems and Controllers Annotation << Back Simulation of Events on the Basis of Social Data and Information Systems for Decision Support V.N. Shcherbinin The current stage of development of society characterized by the increasing role of information sphere in all areas of human activity, which is a system-forming factor of society. Information is a resource which is only increasing with time, which necessitates the rapid development of software and applications, national security solutions to problems, particularly in the cyberspace. In view of the available opportunities to accumulate large amounts of information, there is a need in mathematical methods for their analysis and processing in order to support decision-making. The article provides a review of mathematical methods in the interest of modeling the development of events on the basis of data and information and social Internet space systems for head action when deciding on the use of forces and means. Keywords: modeling of events; probabilistic causal modeling; temporality; an ontological approach; decision support. Contacts: E-mail: svn_mck@mail.ru Pp. 40-48.
