Support for decision-making in response to forest fires is a complex multi-criteria process. This article provides a comparative assessment of the validity of decisions made using three decision support tools. The analytic hierarchy process, analytical network method, and TOPSIS method were used for the assessment. The uncertainty, volume, and degree of heterogeneity of the data taken into account when making decisions were considered as validity criteria. The conducted studies have proven the possibility of using the intelligent decision support system developed by the authors to respond to forest fire threats, as well as increasing their validity compared to other tools.management decisions. The validity of management decisions is understood as an objective representation of the state of the external environment (uncertainty of data and decisions, the volume of processed data, the dimension of the feature space) from the point of view of the problem being solved by the decision maker. The evaluation of tools allows you to determine the preference of tools in terms of the criteria under consideration.

This article examines an approach to designing the architecture of management decision support systems for entrepreneurial structures using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It is demonstrated that traditional decision-making methods fail to provide sufficient speed and justification for management actions in the face of high market volatility and information overload. A multi-level architecture is proposed, based on the principles of modularity, human-AI hybrid interaction, explainability, and incremental development. The system's structure, comprising four layers, is presented. Particular attention is paid to the role of the human-in-the-loop and the threshold control of decisions. Using small and medium-sized enterprises as an example, it is shown that the proposed approach enhances forecast accuracy, accelerates the management cycle, and fosters a culture of trust in analytics. The architecture ensures adaptability, transparency, and regulatory compliance, making it an effective tool for implementing AI in entrepreneurial structures.

The article analyzes modern methods of planning and rescheduling schedules for software development projects in conditions of dynamically changing requirements and limited resources. The scientific task of optimizing the management processes of the development team through the dynamic allocation of tasks is formulated, which is relevant due to the need to quickly respond to changes in the production calendar and project input data. The proposed solution is based on the use of a genetic algorithm to automate schedule rescheduling, which allows taking into account key performance criteria such as minimizing downtime, optimal load distribution among employees, and compliance with technological dependencies between tasks. The analysis showed that the dynamic rescheduling technique is able to quickly adjust the initial schedule when new requirements appear or working conditions change, which significantly improves the quality of planning and increases the system's resilience to external changes. The results of the study confirmed that the developed approach allows achieving an optimal balance between the usefulness of the work performed and the cost of adjusting the plan. The data obtained indicate that the use of genetic algorithms for dynamic schedule management in software development projects is highly promising, which opens up opportunities for further research in the field of flexible management methods and adaptive resource allocation in conditions of uncertainty.

The purpose of developing the model and algorithms is to improve the management of public training in the field of public protection and civil defense of the Republic of Tajikistan as an integrated system that combines a set of interconnected elements that form its emergence and are determined by a set of functional properties, hierarchy and multiplicity of descriptions, as a complex organizational system [1]. The research uses methods of analysis and systematization. In particular, John Cotter's model of change is used, which allows structuring the process of managing the training of the population at different levels. Algorithms have been developed that take into account different social groups and their specific needs. This makes public education programs more adaptable and accessible to everyone. The obtained training algorithms can serve as a basis for improving public training management in the field of public protection and civil defense by integrating them into functional and infological models. The mathematical model of assessing the readiness of the population makes it possible to identify weaknesses in the training of the population and develop specific measures to eliminate them. The developed training management model and algorithms contribute to the formation of a structured system focused on the real needs of citizens. This includes their active participation in ensuring security, which, in turn, contributes to the creation of a more secure and secure environment in the country. The results of the study can be the basis for further development of the civil defense system in Tajikistan and improvement of training in the field of public protection and civil defense in emergency situations.

Rapid digitalization and the transition to flexible management methodologies pose fundamentally new challenges for IT project managers. Previously, classical planning schemes ensured the stability of processes, but today they are increasingly becoming vulnerable to chaotic requirements and staffing shortages in the industry. Paradoxically, technological progress, which generates these challenges, simultaneously offers tools to overcome them — intelligent assistants begin to play the role of strategic partners in decision-making. The central element of the study was an experiment on the integration of a cognitive assistant into the Timetta company's workflows. An analysis of the twelve-month implementation cycle revealed a curious pattern: the combination of generative language models with predictive analytics not only optimized routine operations, but also changed the very logic of interaction in teams. Automation of processing 63% of typical requests through NLP mechanisms freed up resources for solving creative tasks, which affected key metrics - reaction time was halved, and the employee loyalty index reached record levels. An unexpected discovery was the "synergy zone" between artificial and human intelligence. Contrary to the expectations of skeptics, algorithms have not replaced managers, but have become a kind of "cognitive enhancer." Dynamic dashboards and scenario risk modeling have transformed not so much the processes as the thinking of project participants. However, the success of this collaboration turned out to be fragile – the efficiency of the system dropped sharply when trying to completely replace specialists, which underscores the importance of balance in hybrid management models. The practical results of the research raise new questions for the community. How can algorithms be customized to suit the cultural characteristics of the teams? What ethical framework should be established for AI intermediaries in conflict situations? The answers to these challenges will be crucial for the next stage of the evolution of project management, where technological power will not be a competitor, but a continuation of human expertise.

Urban water supply systems in Iran and Turkey are facing increasing pressure due to leakages, inefficient resource use, and lack of a proactive management approach. This study proposes an integrated engineering model combining Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, a loss calculation algorithm (ΔQ), and a multi-criteria demand analysis (MCDA) method to identify, prioritize, and fix water leaks in urban infrastructure. The developed system, named Smart Leak, was tested in pilot areas of Tehran (District 3) and Istanbul (Beyoğlu District) where real-world data collection and expert assessment were carried out. The model includes a digital monitoring architecture, dashboards, an alert system, and integration with Google Sheets and App Sheet. The results showed a 27% reduction in leak detection time, improved prioritization accuracy, and improved resource allocation efficiency. In addition, the MCDA–LCA criteria heat map highlighted the priority of environmental factors in decision making. The developed approach demonstrates scalability, adaptability and suitability for application in cities experiencing water shortages. The system can be integrated into smart city platforms for sustainable water management.

The article shows the importance of the role of clinical engineering departments to ensure high-quality comprehensive control of the state of medical equipment at all stages of its life cycle. The main resource of such departments is the competence resource of clinical engineers and their working time resource. In order to rationalize the use of these resources, we systematized the causes of failures of medical devices. Based on this, a number of general metrics were developed that characterize the adaptability of clinical engineering departments to the conditions of a specific medical institution, such as the competence profile of the department and the profile of the need for technical maintenance of medical devices. The use of these data made it possible to formalize the algorithm for managing the clinical engineering department, aimed at maximizing the useful use of the human capital of these departments.

In the article the sustainability of the network model of districts within the subsidized region is investigated both in terms of each of their dynamic parameters: fixed assets, labor population and its efficiency; and in their combination. In addition, the problem of the lower level in the hierarchical system is solved in the form of a Nash equilibrium – optimal district strategies are found for a given known distribution of subsidies by the region between them. It has been revealed that if there are subsidies to the district, agents do not care how much money is allocated to the development of the district, since all consumption of the district is provided by subsidies, and there are no subsidies to the district, it has to spend 90% of gross product to invest in production.

Distributed data storage systems (DSS) are multi-parameter, complexly configurable systems. Fault tolerance and reliability of DSS data storage are ensured by a set of different methods. To assess the efficiency of new methods, it is convenient to use software tools that simulate the operation of DSS. The purpose of this work is to study the existing software simulators of DSS to assess the potential of their use. The study is based on the analysis of several software simulators that model the operation of DSS. The analysis took into account such parameters as the choice of the redundancy introduction method, the data placement method, the data recovery algorithm after failure, and the choice of storage architecture. The results of the study show that simulators offer a wide range of options for modeling fault tolerance, but some of them demonstrate greater efficiency in some scenarios. A generalized structural diagram of the simulators is built, revealing the features of the architecture and principles of operation. The CR-SIM simulator has the greatest functionality, but its source codes and executable file are not available. Simulators with open source code do not have a flexible architecture for their expansion with new methods. The сonclusion is made about the need to develop a new simulator in the form of an open source software tool, the architecture of which is designed for its expansion. Such a simulator will allow testing new developments in the field of fault tolerance enhancement technologies.

The study is devoted to the development of electronic and distance learning tools for mastering the skills of applying mathematical methods by specialists in the field of automated systems development. The concept (structure) of an automated information system (AIS) for managing the life cycle of exercises to study optimization methods has been developed and schematically presented. An important element of decision support in the AIS is software simulators (training and training components) that generate exercise options and automatically check them based on the properties of mathematical models of optimization problems. An algorithmic and prototype software for the training subsystem for monitoring the skills of solving optimization problems have been developed. Variations in the interfaces for constructing a mathematical model for an optimization problem by a student when performing an exercise in the AIS are demonstrated. Building a model in the interface and, accordingly, the complexity of the exercise depends on the number of model parameters that can be changed by the student. The simulator provides an integral assessment of the student's actions when performing the task. The introduction of the simulator into the digital educational environment of the university will automate and simplify the implementation of current and intermediate control of knowledge and skills in the disciplines studied.
