It is reported that recently, in many sectors of human activity, there has been an increasing interest in involving chatbots in company, organization or firm websites and in various applications to provide necessary assistance. This article deals with the current definitions of a chatbot and artificial intelligence. A chatbot is a computer program that imitates human speech using artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a science and technology based on such disciplines as computer science, biology, psychology, linguistics, mathematics, and engineering. In the educational field, chatbots are useful for providing guidance and information about courses, admission processes and procedures, academic programs and academic services. However, these virtual assistants have limited mechanisms that could help the teaching and learning process. Attention is drawn to the fact that these mechanisms should be beneficial to all people involved. For this reason, the Voronezh State Industrial and Humanitarian College (GBPOU VO «VGPGK») was identified as the subject area in the development of a chatbot in the social network "VKontakte" for the page of an educational organization.The article considers the possibilities of using chatbots in the social network "VKontakte" for an educational organization focused on students and their parents. The article gives information about the development of the client part of the chatbot, namely the possibility of launching an electronic assistant using the page of the social network, the description of the data storage system for the chatbot and the server part. It is specially noted the variants of solutions for realization of a chatbot and the functioning of a chatbot.

The work is devoted to the problems of protecting the document management system of public administration bodies. The aim of the work is to build a simulation model of the implementation of a targeted computer attack, taking into account the simultaneous (occurring with a slight delay) response of the security tools of the document management system. For modeling, it is proposed to use the apparatus of Petri-Markov networks, combining the representation of the change of states of the attacked system in the form of Markov (semi-Markov) processes and the expressive capabilities of Petri nets to describe the interaction of processes. The constructed model reflects both the specifics of attacks with increased user privileges, and the features of document processing processes, as well as the mechanisms used to counteract unauthorized access. Computational experiments conducted using the constructed simulation model allow us to assess possible risks and make a decision on choosing the most effective system of protection against the considered type of attacks.

The most significant advantage of composite structures compared to structures made of traditional materials is the ability to control the characteristics of the structure in order to obtain an optimal design. In the general case, the initial physical characteristics of the material of the composite structure are random variables. Consequently, the required quantities (stresses, strains, critical loads, etc.) are also random variables. The problem of statistical modeling of a composite structure is ultimately reduced to the problem of transforming random variables. To solve this problem, the Monte Carlo method is used. The object of study is a multi-walled plate under the action of compressive loads. The purpose of this work is to construct point estimates of the coefficients of both general and local stability for a multi-walled plate, as well as to test statistical hypotheses about the equality of the stability coefficients to their theoretical values. The initial parameters are the elastic moduli in the longitudinal and transverse directions, as well as the shear modulus of the construction material. The following were used as output values: sample mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis coefficients. All calculations were carried out in the environment of the MAXIMA package. It is shown that the distribution of the overall stability coefficient practically does not differ from the normal distribution. The coefficient of local stability has a slight positive asymmetry and a steeper peak compared to the normal curve. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the spread of the elastic characteristics of the material does not significantly affect the coefficients of the general and local stability of the multi-walled plate.

The water sector in Syria suffers from longstanding problems and faces many challenges in terms of water supply and quality sanitation. These challenges include water scarcity, increasing water demand due to population growth and conflicts in the region, rapid urbanization, water pollution, limited access to drinking water and sanitation in rural areas, inefficient water distribution system in addition to constant network failures, as well as lack of financial resources, inefficient water pricing system and methods, cost recovery and asset management. As a result, the need for a significant quantitative increase and qualitative improvement of engineering infrastructure facilities (water supply and sanitation systems) and parts of distribution networks, in addition to the technical capabilities and development of resource management methods, which in turn leads to improved management of water supply and sanitation systems and the welfare of the population in the region, clearly becomes apparent.

A model of interaction between a railway and a seaport has been developed in the presence of a governing body. Interaction functions are described for the proposed model, analytical solutions for the static model are found, and the simulation speed is compared without and with the use of analytics. Next, a dynamic model is considered and an algorithm for finding an equilibrium for this model is proposed. The subsequent use of parallel programming methods will make it possible to plan interaction in this model to a better extent.

For prototyping virtual resources, there are modern UI/UX development applications that have the means to build highly productive interaction algorithms, for example, Figma or its promising new competitor Pixso. These programs support the joint redating of projects, and also allow planning and discussion of ideas and stages of work here, in the environment. The correctly chosen method of interaction leads to a multiple increase in productivity. One of the recognized approaches to project planning and management is the Agile design methodology.

The work is devoted to the problems of strategic planning in the digital technology market. The aim of the work is to build a decision support procedure for choosing a strategy, based on internal (related to the characteristics of the firm choosing the strategy) and external (conditioned by the state of the market) factors. It is assumed that the elementary strategy is described by the type, direction and applied area of activity. In this case, the possibility of combining several elementary strategies is considered. The main result of the work is a procedure for choosing a combined strategy based on the application of a genetic algorithm. The use of the methodological apparatus of evolutionary calculations is due to the large number of possible options for combined strategies and the complexity of their evaluation, which makes a complete enumeration of options impractical. The final choice is made by the decision maker based on their own preferences.

The article presents the study results of a soil-like fraction contamination at a landfill located on the territory of the Traktorozavodsky district of Volgograd with heavy metals. The soil-like fraction's pollution level was assessed using a cumulative chemical pollution index (Zc) and its modifications. It was determined that the contamination levels with heavy metals are dependent on a used cumulative chemical pollution index modification. The use of the average geometric values of a cumulative chemical pollution index (Zc) is preferred for a pollution assessment of a soil-like fraction. Because the pollution level of a studied soil-like fraction was assessed as hazardous, its use as a recultivation material can only be permitted after a detoxification.The main pollutants in the soil-like fraction are cadmium, copper, and nickel.

The algorithm and code listing of the developed self-learning chatbot are presented. Able to maintain a conversation with the user, switch to training mode in the absence of the necessary information, analyze the context of the conversation for "forbidden" words. The Trim function is used, which removes extraneous characters represented in the tr property. And also an additional option "Solve arithmetic problems" is implemented in case of a request from the user. When implementing the latter option, a recursive descent algorithm based on three nested recursive functions was used, while the binary tree is filled in. A function has been developed to divide the incoming string into tokens. The chatbot code is developed in C++/C# based on the principles of object-oriented programming with the development of classes.
