The article is devoted to the development of automated information systems (AIS) for electronic document management in the educational field. Using the example of the process of accreditation monitoring of basic professional educational programs implemented in university departments, functional requirements, user algorithms and a prototype AIS (web system) for generating documents have been developed. The use of the considered AIS allows you to flexibly customize the structure of documents and data completion forms for accreditation monitoring, add and edit the required data about teachers in visual web interfaces, automatically generate documents based on information stored in the database, manage the life cycles of documents, evaluate the quality of the documents compiled. The labor intensity of working with documents is significantly simplified compared to existing business processes. The proposed approach can be applied to the development of document flow subsystems for various business processes of a university within the framework of educational, methodological, scientific and other types of activities of employees and, as a result, towards the creation of a unified AIS for electronic document management of the university, based on the integration of all subsystems. The described functionality and algorithms can be adapted to the creation of web systems for electronic document management of computer training complexes (CTC) for collecting and processing data on the progress of students, managing the life cycle of developing exercises for the CTC and performing them by trainees.

The study is devoted to the development of models, algorithms and software for computer training complexes (CTC) for training developers of automated information systems (AIS). The process of automated control of students' knowledge and skills using CTC in studying the mathematical support of AIS (using fuzzy modeling as an example) is formalized based on IDEF0 diagrams, and the process of assessing exercise performance as one of the control components. The advantage of CTC is that the teacher does not need to develop individual exercise options, since CTC configures the structure and complexity of the exercise and then automatically generates a unique version of the exercise for each student undergoing knowledge testing on the topic being studied. The student's performance is checked automatically by comparing the mathematical models of the student's solution to the task and the reference solution generated in CTC based on the problem statement. Algorithms for assessing task performance in fuzzy modeling exercises have been developed. A prototype of CTC has been created in the form of a web system with personal accounts for the teacher and the student. The developed concept and algorithms for monitoring knowledge and skills in fuzzy modeling using the CTC can be adapted for various disciplines in the field of mathematical, software, information and other types of support for AIS.

The article is devoted to the development of training systems for training specialists in automation and informatization. The structure and mathematical model of a training system (TS) were developed to control skills in training these specialists (in particular, in the basics of programming). The parameters of the mathematical model are based on the representation of knowledge about the studied objects and processes in the field of development of automated information systems, which allows using TS to automatically generate and evaluate small practical tasks for students. A prototype of TS software in the form of a web application has been developed. In a practical aspect, the use of TS in the educational process in the disciplines in the field of programming will reduce the proportion of labor-intensive work of the teacher in compiling and checking assignments.

The article is devoted to the development of models and algorithms for calculating control (advisory) actions when training operators of technological processes (on the example of reloading processes and, in particular, portal cranes) on computer training complexes (CTC). A complex of models and algorithms is proposed, based on which control actions are calculated regarding discrete crane controls and the possibility of moving the load to a target position with minimization of oscillations at the end point is provided. These models and algorithms use variable parameters of the technological process, described by linguistic variables, and customizable characteristics of crane models and engines, which allows calculating control actions depending on the type of crane, the specifics of the technological process, the training methodology used for operators and other significant factors. Application of the advisory system based on the developed models and algorithms promotes to improve the training process for operators of reloading cranes at CTC and, as a result, to reduce the probability of emergency situations, reduce time and energy costs.

"The article is devoted to solving the problem in the field of development of methods and means of automation of evaluation of training efficiency on computer simulators, which are used for the training of operators of production processes. Approaches to assessing the effectiveness of training are given in many scientific studies on the creation and application of computer simulators. However, the problem of automation of the process of this assessment on the basis of the simulators themselves is not sufficiently considered. The evaluation methodology (based on mathematical statistics methods) and the prototype subsystem of the computer simulator complex were proposed to solve the indicated problem. They reduce the effort of the expert responsible for performance evaluation. Output results can be used for training operators in educational organizations. The reported study was funded by RFBR according to the research project № 18-38-00835. "

The problem of increasing the efficiency of compiling test plans when testing complex software systems is considered. Automation tools for the development of test plans allow us to describe this document in a rather generalized way, without taking into account many of the attributes required for the success of the further stages of testing the software systems. The use of the developed automated system (AS), described in the article, allows to reduce the complexity of creating test plans due to the presence of a clear sequence of steps in the preparation of the document, providing the specialist with background information and advising effects. In the future, this AS can be used both directly in the development of test plans in the course of real software projects, and in training novice specialists in the skills of filling out these documents.
