Development of a solution search method using artificial intelligence

The object of the study is decision support systems. The problem of increasing decision-making efficiency in conditions of uncertainty and a set of different parameters was solved using a bio-inspired algorithm. The subject of the study is the decision-making process in management problems using the heron flock algorithm, the improved genetic algorithm and evolving artificial neural networks. A solution search method using the improved heron flock algorithm is proposed. The study is based on the heron flock algorithm to find a solution regarding the object state. Evolving artificial neural networks are used to train the heron flock algorithm, and an advanced genetic algorithm is used to select the best individuals of the heron flock. The method has the following sequence of actions: – input of initial data; – setting agents on the search plane; – numbering heron agents in the flock; – setting the initial velocity of heron agents; – waiting strategy for heron agents; – aggressive strategy; – checking the discriminatory condition; – selection of the best individuals from the heron flock; – ranking and sorting the obtained solutions; – training heron knowledge bases; – determining the amount of necessary computing resources of the intelligent decision support system. The originality of the proposed method consists in setting heron agents taking into account the uncertainty of the initial data, the noise degree of data about the analysis object state. The method makes it possible to reduce the time for decision-making at the level of 22–26 % due to the use of additional improved procedures. The proposed method should be used to solve the problems of evaluating complex and dynamic processes in the interest of solving national security problems
