Рассматриваются сети связи, в том числе, специального назначения как сложные организационные системы. Для описания характера взаимодействий между элементами таких систем предлагается использование концептуально-понятийного аппарата теории конфликтов. В качестве показателя эффективности функционирования сети связи используется интегральная оценка функций полезности её элементов за определённое время. Разрабатывается показатель, характеризующий степень соответствия текущего состояния организационно-технической системы оптимальному состоянию. Для разработанного показателя вводится соответствующий критерий оптимальности.

Introduction. Modeling in organizational and technical systems (OTS), first of all, focuses on the development of numerical methods and algorithms for optimizing their functioning. Typically, any optimization method implies the presence of a criterion based on the selected performance indicator that needs to be optimized. Optimization by one of the indicators does not always guarantee an increase in the efficiency of the functioning of the system. On the other hand, the activity of a person (organizational element) in OTS does not always ensure their reliable and uninterrupted functioning. Thus, it is crucial to use a complex indicator characterizing the degree of achievement of the goal by each element of the system. The aim of the research is to develop an optimization criterion of such OTS as communication networks, based on the dynamics of the utility functions of the elements of systems over a certain period. In order to achieve the posed goal, the following tasks were tackled: formalization and systematization of knowledge about the specific state of the special purpose communication network, taking into account the set of elements and processes implemented between them; initialization of the utility functions of the system's elements; design of several typical states of the system (optimal, conflict, and the state in which there is counteraction to the conflict element) to study the dynamics of the elements' utility functions; definition of the numerical optimality index in analytical form and the introduction of corresponding criteria for it. The main methods of research are numerical and full-scale experiments aimed at obtaining empirical data necessary to achieve the goal, as well as conducting the relevant measurements and comparisons to formulate appropriate conclusions. The findings of the research are an analytical expression of the optimality criterion of the special purpose communication network state; an example of its calculation for different states of the systems, as well as the definition of the necessary optimality criterion and assessment of the degree of compliance of the studied states with the optimal one. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the development of the conflict theory, the use of its conceptual apparatus for mathematical modeling of organizational and technical systems and assessment of the dynamics of their development. The practical significanceimplies the development of complex software and hardware tools that use the proposed indicator to assess the state of networks and communication systems, including special purpose ones, based on monitoring of various indicators of the quality of services provided, which can also be integrated into the analytical form of the given utility functions of the elements of systems.
