Machine learning of multilayer models of a monitoring software agent

The use of an agent-based approach to the implementation of information technology for intel-ligent monitoring allows for obtaining special forms of multi-agent systems (MAS) to support decision-making in various subject areas. The structure of MAS for intelligent monitoring is formed by a set of software agents for various purposes. This paper presents the results of re-search on one of the MAS elements ― a monitoring software agent. In this system, it ensures the implementation of typical intellectual tasks of classification, identification, forecasting, and others. In the context of crisis monitoring, to obtain a useful agent model, methods of increasing the diversity of an agent-based model synthesizer (AMS), in particular, multilayer modelling, are used. Models with a heterogeneous structure and the same modelled indicator are combined into layers. Recirculation is one of the popular methods of multilayer modelling. The signal from the model output is added to the input data set (IDS) as an additional feature, and the IDS is sent to the input of the same AMS. The agent-based model synthesizer determines which AMS will be used adaptively to the properties of each subsequent input data set. Before synthe-sizing the model, each of the existing AMS is tested, and the best one is selected according to the specified criteria. If it is not possible to build a useful model, the synthesizer will adjust the AMS with a more complex structure. Improving the processes of adaptive construction of mul-tilayer model ensembles using the recirculation method allows us to expand the capabilities of agent-based model synthesizers. This paper presents the results of applying machine learning methods to build algorithms for the synthesis of multilayer models using the recirculation method and strategies for the adaptive selection of the best AMS. The increase in the accuracy of modelling results has been experimentally confirmed. The obtained results allow us to build rules for the behaviour of a software agent and formulate requirements for MAS software.
