Modeling regional innovative activity management processes using fuzzy cognitive maps

The problem of analysis and management of innovative activity in the region on the example of organizing the Scientific and Educational Center (SEC) with use of cognitive modeling tools is considered. Based on the normative documents requirements, the fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) of the problem situation under consideration is constructed, with the help of which the expected values of the SEC target indicators and the effectiveness of the SEC functioning as a whole are estimated. It is shown that the use of the genetic algorithm at the stage of optimizing the FCM parameters allows us to obtain reasonable recommendations for improving the efficiency of SEC due to a more rational distribution of financial resources.
