MODELS, METHODS, AND MEANS OF REPRODUCTION OF EXPERT KNOWLEDGE IN INTELLIGENT SUPPORT SYSTEM BUILDING-TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
Get PDFThe paper is devoted to solving such a scientific and practical problem as the creation of computerized infocommunication systems for support building-technical expertise to determine the causes of destruction and deformation of buildings and structures. The analysis of the current state of expert activity within the framework of building-technical expertise is carried out. Perspective directions of the introduction of intelligent infocommunication systems in the course of performance of building-technical expertise and expert researches are outlined. The architecture of Intelligent Support System Building-Technical Expertise and the communication scheme of experts with the system are shown. To mapping expert knowledge formalized in the form of fuzzy associative rules to the memory card of the Cascade ARTMAP category fuzzy artificial neural network, it is proposed to use a fuzzy Mamdani-type inference system. The main input data, on the basis of which a fuzzy conclusion is realized to establish the degree of influence of various environmental factors on the technical condition of buildings and structures, are systematized and presented in a form acceptable for processing by computerized systems. At the same time, the main focus is on the study of facilities that are built and operated on subsidence loess soils. The process of formalization of heuristics, which is based on the formation of associations related to information on the position of signs of deterioration of the technical condition of the objects of expertise and the position of the changed soil, is described. Examples of interpretation and fuzzification of input information on soil properties, characteristics of the soil base of the object of building-technical expertise, and the surrounding area are given. The described approach provides an opportunity to reduce the risks of making wrong decisions by using the system as an intelligent database. The use of an artificial fuzzy neural network of the Cascade ARTMAP category gives the system the ability to form an expert conclusion on the degree of influence of various environmental factors on the technical condition of objects in the fuzzy conditions of a partially observed environment
MODELLING OF EROSION OF THE AGILE LEADERSHIP PROJECT MANAGER COMPETENCES
Get PDFThe structure and functions of mechanisms of development and erosion of competencies in innovative projects of implementation of information and communication technologies are considered. The factors of development and erosion of competencies aredetermined and a model of competence and competency assessment for the successful implementation of information and communication technologies is identified, for example, for master’s degree in project and program management. The proposed model of competence development of the project team for the creation and implementation project is based on the balance of factors of development of competencies of the innovation project and their erosion in the process of implementation. Investigation of factors of development and erosion of competencies in the management of innovative projects can adequately respond to changing the profile of competencies of innovation projects. At the same time, the analysis allows the project manager to form effective programs for acquiring certain competencies for team members and other interested parties. The proposed model of the factors of development and erosion of the system of competencies is tested on the examples which confirmed its adequacy and effectiveness
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF RANDOM WALKS ON NETWORK
Get PDFThis paper describes an investigation of analytical formulas for parameters in random walks. Random walks are used to model situations in which an object moves in a sequence of steps in randomly chosen directions. Given a graph and a starting point, we select a neighbor of it at random, and move to this neighbor; then we select a neighbor of this point at random, and move to it etc. It is a fundamental dynamic process that arises in many models in mathematics, physics, informatics and can be used to model random processes inherent to many important applications. Different aspects of the theory of random walks on graphs are surveyed. In particular, estimates on the important parameters of hitting time, commute time, cover time are discussed in various works. In some papers, authors have derived an analytical expression for the distribution of the cover time for a random walk over an arbitrary graph that was tested for small values of n. However, this work will show the simplified analytical expressions for distribution of hitting time, commute time, cover time for bigger values of n. Moreover, this work will present the probability mass function and the cumulative distribution function for hitting time, commute time
NATIONAL MODEL OF THE QUALITY ASSURANCE OF EDUCATION IN KAZAKHSTAN: FORMAT, TOOLS, AND REGULATORY MECHANISMS
Get PDFIn this article, the authors consider the quality assurance system at the national level. The normative legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan contributing to the development of quality assurance at the institutional level are analyzed. The structure of state management of the quality assurance system of higher education is given. The authors show the implementation of the process of external and internal quality assurance in the country. At the same time, the internal quality assurance system is based on the principles of quality assurance and on the policy and standards of internal quality assurance, which are developed by the higher education institution independently, but on the basis of ESG. The design of the national quality assurance model is presented in a three-dimensional image. The basis of the National Model of Quality assurance of Higher Education in Kazakhstan (NMQAHE) isthe system of internal quality assurance. The indicator of achievement of academic quality by the internal quality assurance system is the academic reputation of a higher educational institution. The answer to the question is given due to what the successful functioning of the national quality assurance model is achieved
A CONCEPTUAL MODEL AND PROCESS MANAGEMENT METHOD OF THE PLANNING AND MONITORING OF THE WORKLOAD IN THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Get PDFThe article formulates the aims of HEI’s activities, as well as approaches to managing all actions that ensure the achievement of the stated aims. The process approach is defined as the main one in the university management system. It is shown that the maindirections of improving the activities of the university are the transition to the application of the process approach to the management of HEI and its informatization. On this basis, it is necessary to develop new, more modern university management systems that meet the contemporary requirements for the governance of multifunctional facilities and implement them in the form of process systems. We propose a conceptual model of the implementation of the functions to plan the educational process. The effects on planning functions are presented and the interrelation of these functions in the traditional form of planning is described. The tasks are formulated that need to be solved for modeling and optimizing business processes of planning and monitoring the academic workload to create an effective information technology for automating the functions of information processing. We propose a structural model for the implementation of information and procedural components of IT for planning and monitoringthe educational environment. The implementation of this model in software provides the calculation of the optimal planned workload of students and teachers, considering the conditions in which the educational process is implemented. 
IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON STUDENTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Get PDFKazakhstan, as many other countries in the world had to urgently switch to online learning when it became clear that the Covid-19 was a highly contagious disease and it was necessary to ‘social distance’ to slow down its spread. This study aims to explore theinfluence of the pandemic on lives and education experiences of the Kazakhstani undergraduate students. An online survey and online interviews were conducted via the social media platforms and 161 fully completed questionnaires were sorted out for theanalysis. The findings indicate that during online learning students reported both positive and negative effects of pandemic on their lives and study experiences. More students started to work in part-time positions, however, their online class attendance fellconsiderably, and in order to cope with the increased amount of home assignments they started to cheat more often. Students were rather unhappy about the lack of interaction with peers and faculty members. Also, they were frustrated with the poor Internet connection as well as the need to self-isolate in the environment which does not always contribute to the productive education process. However, students also reported benefits in terms of more time spent with family and for self-development, self-care and hobbies
PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE GLOBAL OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY BY CO-CREATING STRATEGIC VALUE FOR THE INDUSTRY
Get PDFProject development and marketing on large oil and gas projects (LOGPs) by engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) contractors respond to massive capital investment (CAPEX) undertakings by oil and gas industry owners and takes on multi-lateralinteractions carried out by a dozen actors proactively participating in the EPC contractors’ business ecosystem created to remain competitive toward owner companies, which form of project marketing is different from a straight forward contractor – owner interaction found in the other branches of contracting industry. Most of such interactions are based on strategic trust among the relevant members built over decades of heavy win-win transactions. This study has found the actors that compose the project development and marketing cycle in LOGPs, explored dominant logics of EPC contractor’s project development and marketing,and analysed how primary actors in LOGP development and implementation co-create strategic values for both the respective corporations and sustainable overall industry growth. The business ecosystem theory posits that a business ecosystem is an economic community supported by interacting organizations; the company holding a leadership role is valued by the community because it enables members to move toward shared visions to align their investments – this refers to the platform services theory and to find mutually supportive roles
COMPETENCE APPROACH IN AGILE TRANSFORMATION OF EDUCATION ESTABLISHMENT
Get PDFThe subject of the article is development of project, programs and project portfolios management systems with drivers of innovation in Agile transformation of Education Establishment is considered. Substantial changes in the environment require further research into the effectiveness of the application of existing agile methodologies, knowledge systems and competencies of project managers and their leadership. The foundations of environmental change lie in changing the decision making paradigm in innovation project and programs management in Agile transformation of Education Establishment. The goal is to explore modern approaches to leadership formation when applying agile methodologies of its specificity from the point of view of decision-making processes in project management. The problems of leadership creation and development in the application of agile project management methodologies for the implementation of information and communication systems are considered. The results of studies were conducted on the basis of a competency-based approach modelled by the International Project Management Association. The content model of competency of the leader applying agile management is presented. Conclusion: The Agile leadership and leadership behaviour patterns are formed in a project management behavioural competency system based on agile technology methods and tools. These competencies included: Self-reflection and self-management, Personal integrity and reliability, Personal communication, Relationships and interaction, Leadership, Teamwork, Conflicts and crises, Inventiveness, Reconciliation, and Orientation to results. The patterns of project managers’ behaviour as agile leaders in project product creation and agile project management are explored. The differences in the behaviour patterns of leaders and agile leaders were examined by behavioural competencies within the identified key competency indicators. Such patterns allowed the authors to identify bottlenecks in the application of agile project management methodologies in the context ofthe development of innovative products of innovation systems
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF AIR FLOATING DESIGN FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION
Get PDFIn the past several decades, there were presented different innovative technologies rather than traditional wind turbines for renewable energy that uses wind kinetic energy and remains in the air through aerodynamic forces. Unlike wind turbines with towers, their systems operate in a flight, and they are connected to a foundation by a cable that either transmits the energy generated at the airfoil or transmits mechanical energy to the ground. Nowadays, there are several existing and developing technologies; however, each of them has limitations and challenges. This work will present an analysis of air floating design for electricity generation at high altitudes. It is a tethered wind turbine with a Balloon system, which has a simple controlling system, relatively higher efficiency, and low-cost technology. The concept of the design is to model the electricity generation device powered by clean renewable energy, mainly wind power. Base on the concept of kite or helium balloon to provide enough buoyancy to keep the device working at certain altitude. To increase the energy conversion efficiency and the feasibility of the device, it is mostly used in the country, open area. Despite high efficiency which needs further investigation, the designed device is moveable, pollution free and little space consumed
APPLICATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR SEMANTIC TEXT PROCESSING
Get PDFAn expert system for text analysis based on the heuristic knowledge of an expert linguist is proposed. Methods of linguistic analysis of the text through the use of computer technology have been further developed. Data verification was performed on the example of the Germanic language group. The algorithm of the system operation is given. The sequence of actions of the text analysis process is described. Research relates to the subject of computational linguistics and helps to automate text analysis processes. The main purpose of the research is to improve the machine’s understanding of the semantic structure of the text by finding current connections between the main members of the sentence, current connections between secondary members of the sentence, the best concept of the current word and the function of the current word in the sentence. Semantic networks are used in the software solution. The Java programming shell, such as NetBeans IDE 8.1, and the CLIPS shell, were used to create the software product. The main logical connections and structure of the program are described in the article. Methods and relations are considered on the example of the Germanic group of languages. All languages of the Germanic group are similar because they have a direct line of words which makes them even more similar: subject + predicate + subordinate clauses. Thus, to reflect the structure of the Germanic group of languages, it is sufficient to consider one of them. Namely, English, as it is the most common (1.5 billion people), international, has the largest vocabulary among the group (500 thousand words) and, in our opinion, the most complex
