DEVELOPMENT OF ONTOLOGICAL DECISION MAKING SYSTEM OF THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS ON COOPERATION PRODUCTION IN AIRCRAFT by Yuriy Vorobyov, Igor Shostak, Svetlana Kryvova, Alexander Zubanyov

“…Conclusions: the need to supplement the mathematical support of traditional negotiation support systems with special methodological means is shown to increase the efficiency of information support for the negotiation process on organizing cooperative production in aircraft construction; it is substantiated that for the program implementation of the system of information support for negotiations on the organization, it is advisable to use the ontological approach; the architecture of the intellectual core of the ontological decision support system for organizing the negotiation process for organizing the cooperative production of aircraft in the form of a hierarchy of frames, with the organization of knowledge-based inference by means of attached procedures is proposed; a scenario example of the formation of a decision on the choice of an aircraft model for the organization of cooperative production in the environment of an ontological decision support system is given.…”
