Interval Model of the Efficiency of the Functioning of Information Web Resources for Services on Ecological Expertise

Abstract

Mathematical models of the efficiency dynamics of information web resources are considered in this paper. The application of interval discrete models in the form of difference equations is substantiated and the approach to estimation of the model parameters is proposed. The proposed approach is based on the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA). A number of experimental studies have been carried out based on data on the functioning of web resources related to environmental monitoring services. The indicator of an information web resource user’s activity has been investigated. Three cases of model building in the form of difference equations as interval discrete models (IDM) have been considered. They vary in the general kind of expression. As a result of the computational experiments, it is shown that the adequacy of a model depends on the expression of the difference equation. In the case of its incorrect choice, the proposed method of parameters’ identification may be ineffective. The obtained interval discrete model in the difference equation form, which describes the efficiency of a web resource, makes it possible to optimize business processes in an organization that uses this web resource, as well as optimally allocate organizational resources and the workload of employees of the administrative service center. Based on the conducted experiments, the efficiency of the proposed model’s application is confirmed.
