MODELING OF RESOURCE COORDINATION OF DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Topicality. The paper analyzes the problems associated with modeling the behavior and interaction of objects of living nature in biological systems. The relevance of developments in this direction of modeling, which is at the interface between biology and the general theory of systems, is noted. The range of issues to be modeled within the framework of this work has been specified. The cell of a living organism has a resource in the number of divisions. This resource is consumed in the process of vital activity of the organism. It is interesting to study by means of computer modeling the limitations of the vital activity of a multicellular organism related to the consumption of this resource. Computer modeling allows you to significantly save resources that are spent in the process of learning and mastering nature, in particular, in the course of developing applied technical and information systems. Cellular automata make it possible to abstract from many non-essential features of objects, focusing mainly on the cyclicity of processes, the spatial distribution of objects, the discreteness of mutual independence of events. In resource-based cellular automata, the temporal limitation of processes is additionally taken into account: the reduction of possibilities for their further continuation. The set of these qualities creates a formal cause-and-effect environment, convenient for examining the objects under study. A resource is the value of a certain parameter (or several parameters), critical for the continued functioning of a certain element of a cellular automaton. The resource can be set initially and can decrease during the functioning of the cellular automaton. The requirements for the developed model are formulated, which are determined by the nature, volume and degree of illustrativeness of the information that is expected to be obtained. The execution language of the model is Python. The algorithm of the model is presented in the form of a step-by-step description, with the necessary commenting, which is used later in the development of the software implementation of the model. The structural diagram of the model is presented and commented. The correspondence of the blocks of the structural diagram of the step-by-step description of the algorithm of the model is shown. The purpose of the work is the development and implementation of a cellular-automatic computer model for studying the behavior of the structure under conditions of sign-variable change of the parameters that determine the resource capacity.
