Decision support systems with artificial intelligence elements

Abstract

The main directions of development of artificial intelligence systems are considered. Fundamental research in this area served as the basis for the development of applied areas of artificial intelligence, one of which is the development of knowledge-based systems, that is, expert systems. It is shown that the further development of intelligent systems of this class lies within the framework of the paradigm of distributed artificial intelligence, the main idea of which is the cooperative interaction of local intelligent agents. The necessity of including a specialized module in the distributed expert system - a coordinating node, which is entrusted with the functions of organizing the interaction of local expert systems in accordance with the logic of cooperative solution of complex problems and ensuring the efficiency of the computing process in a distributed environment is substantiated. Within the framework of the theoretical and logical approach to the consideration of the cooperative interaction of intelligent agents, the types of logical structures for solving problems that can be formed in the process of functioning of a distributed expert system are distinguished.
