Abstract. It is revealed that specific forms of a simulation game combined with some peculiarities of training sessions in organizational systems could result in developing adaptable simulation models of a business situation. It is recommended to use a cognitive model in problem analysis of organizational systems, which allows switching from cognitive to simulation models naturally still being in visual topological descriptions. The AnyLogic software platform was chosen for developing a model which provides ample opportunities for creating an innovative educational environment with the elements of game simulations and AI. Cognitive analysis of a game learning process has revealed that the latter should have one cycle of a business game with two interactive nodes to introduce a host and a player into the game. It is noted that business games focused on developing management styles in a conflict are mostly in demand. Therefore, a simulation model has been developed to train executives to counteract an organizational conflict within the variability of authoritarian, democratic and liberal management styles. The model uses a paradigm of systems dynamics and is implemented in the AnyLogic software platform notation. To set the rules, the game host in the initial state or when starting the next game cycle sets the dynamics characteristics of a process while managing the organizational structure, as well as changes characteristics values of a pre-conflict situation. In response to conflict development the player performs management using auxiliary services available to him. In fact, the model is not limited by a list of the game’s tasks or possible options for a player’s decision.

The article shows the relevance of solving the problem of conceptual analysis of traditional and digital educational structures integrated in the process of transformation, identification and evaluation of their effective interaction. It is proposed to use the methodology of the cognitive analysis that has already passed the stages of approbation in the subject environment of education. It is noted that the educational process includes continuously generated and continuously modified cycles of cognition of reality. Within the framework of generalized descriptions presented by models of cognition, a transition is naturally made from individualized cycles of cognition to a collective study of reality, in which models already control collective cognition, forming a cycle of cognition based on collective communication. An initial cognitive model has been developed which illustrates the situation that has developed in the modern educational system under the powerful influence of the "technocratic" point of view on digitalization. A cognitive model of collective cognition and communication in the digital environment is proposed, which systematically integrates three important parts from the point of view of transformational processes in education, namely, the traditional structure of cognition of reality, the newest structure of digital communication built in the paradigm of the collective subject of cognition, and, finally, the structure of strategic management based on the socio-cultural development of society and the country.

It is shown that in the analysis of self-determination it is expedient to use the tools of cognitive modeling. This allows us to identify all the cause-and-effect relationships that provide logical and semantic focus on the desired (target) result of a particular system. The problem of analysis is a special case of the study of the fundamental philosophical category of development, as the relationship and interaction of "things, properties and relations". Formally, the analysis can be reduced to the procedure of semantic and causal interpretation of the original cognitive model. The model allows to study the internal structural organizations that affect the implementation of self-determination of the system. Analysis of self-determination in turn opens the way to effective cognitive modeling, construction of dynamic models, application of game and scenario analysis methods.

It is shown that the production conflict, both structurally and dynamically strictly determined within the paradigm of structural management of production. The system essence of the production conflict determines the need to involve methods and tools of system analysis, in particular, the method of cognitive analysis. The model of management of the production company is offered. The model is based on a distributed combination of positive feedback loops. The model allows to organize a continuous cycle of self-development. This is achieved by self-locking conflicts in the underlying loop factors. The principal difference of the model is the formation of two additional "positive" contours. These contours cover the tangent base contour. The formal increase in the number of growth accelerators increases the system's ability to overcome conflicts in the basic circuit. The dual-accelerator circuit is a guarantee of sustainable control . The control model demonstrates the growth of causal integration and the level of self-determination in comparison with the initial potential.

The need to develop a wider range of methods and tools for system analysis and modeling, allowing to develop and implement anti-terrorism measures, was noted. The results of a model analysis of terrorist activity in media space are presented. The research is based on already approved model solutions. It is proposed to use the combination and integration of humanitarian knowledge and natural science tools. A cognitive analysis of the communication model of a successful terrorist attack and models of proactive counteraction to terrorist threats was carried out. Models are single- or multi-loop schemes with positive or multidirectional feedbacks. Functional-structural models for countering the coverage of terrorist activities in media space have been constructed. The context of the model of counteraction to terrorist threats is defined. Based on the hierarchical decomposition of the diagrams, the features of the structural organization of the counteraction process are investigated. The proposed model approach allowed to build a study, starting from the description of generalized structures to the analysis of the functioning of the system of counteracting the coverage of terrorists in the media space. The obtained models illustrate the mechanisms of formation of a system of links between state and public institutions targeted to deprive terrorism of its social base.

Some experimental regularities obtained on the basis of monitoring and modeling the emotional perception of social processes, which are carried out from 2009 to the present moment by method of semantic differential are given. Total for this period were surveyed several thousand respondents, mainly students of Rostov-on-Don, Grozny, Vladikavkaz and Karachaevsk. And also the politically active part of the population of Rostov-on-Don. The purpose of the survey was to identify the emotional perception of the local and central political orders, own level of relative deprivation, cultural infrastructure and cultural life of the city as a whole, own emotional state. Received partial confirmation law factorization primary space of Ch. Osgood. For all these objects and any groups primary semantic signs reduced to three-four factors. However, we have shown that this regularity is observed only for the classical factorization method, in which the factors are identified based on the minimization of a specific random residue. For other methods of factoring the number of identified indicators of latent increases. Should be noted that this result was not previously observed in the literature. The second part of the Osgood’s law the nature of latent indicators as the factors of assessment, force and activity doesn't possess such commonality. For our subjects splitting primary signs into bunches doesn't occur, all signs are mixed in each factor. Results of the factor analysis, received by a cognitive part of the questionnaire has shown, as for these parameters the same regularity is carried out, as for a semantic part. All set of primary signs reduced to four-five latent factors. Cognitive part of the questionnaire has no relation to a technique of semantic differential. Common for both parts of the questionnaire is rating scales are used. And the result suggests that the observed regularity factorization by Osgood is not connected with the specific semantic space and emotional perception, and is a special case of a general factorization of any rating scale. For verification of this assumption was conducted the research results of poll SFU’s students to identify satisfaction with the educational process carried out in 2015. Questioning had purely cognitive character, 20 primary cognitive signs characterizing educational process from various parties have been used. In total, about 4,000 students were surveyed. Factorization of the classical method showed that the three indicators describe the 95% of the variation of the primary signs, and four - 97%. It convincingly shows the general nature of factorization of both semantic, and cognitive rating scales. We have suggested that the nature of such regularities lies in the psycho-physiological peculiarities of the formation of the respondents estimates. On average the person estimates any object no more than on three – four factors. In attempt to increase the number of estimated parameters is beginning to follow the correlation between them. This result makes for a fresh look at the development of questionnaires and on the adequacy of many of previous polls. It turns out that the use of large scale (the number of parameters to be estimated much more than four) does not make sense, they still rolled up to four factors. In this case the adequacy of the results will be decrease. Identify a limited perception of the estimated parameters is an additional source of errors in the measurement results. Fully it belongs to all earlier received results on a large rating scales.
