Конструирование механизмов социально-экономической координации. Концептуальная модель

This study discusses the socio-economic coordination mechanism design, which allows, in comparison with the classical mechanism design theory, to obtain a wider class of solutions, but with the loss of the ability to use the mechanism design's mathematical models and methods. The concepts of the coordinating activities and the basic forms of coordination of socio-economic agents are defined. The fundamental coordination process, which is present in all coordinated systems, is described. On this methodological basis the prerequisites, fundamentals and properties of socio-economic coordination are considered. A conceptual model of coordination is proposed, including a three-step algorithm for the coordination mechanism designing. As illustrations, based on the proposed algorithm some of the well-known coordination mechanisms are considered. Using the conceptual model of coordination, possible changes in the design and properties of coordination mechanisms because of the digitalization of socio-economic processes are analyzed. В данном исследовании рассматривается проектирование механизмов социально-экономической координации, которое позволяет по сравнению с классической теорией экономических механизмов получать более широкий класс решений, но с потерей возможности использования математических моделей и методов теории экономических механизмов. Определены понятия координирующей деятельности и основные формы координации социально-экономических агентов. Описан фундаментальный процесс координации, присутствующий во всех координируемых системах. На этой методологической основе рассмотрены предпосылки, основы и свойства социально-экономической координации. Предложена концептуальная модель координации, включающая трехэтапный алгоритм проектирования механизма координации. В качестве иллюстраций на основе предложенного алгоритма рассмотрены некоторые известные механизмы координации. С помощью концептуальной модели координации анализируются возможные изменения конструкции и свойств механизмов координации в связи с цифровизацией социально-экономических процессов. Показано, что цифровизация приводит к сближению характеристик базовых форм координации и к унификации их элементов в цифровом виде. Это открывает возможность создания распределенной компьютерной системы, выполняющей функции универсального механизма координации. В качестве одного из направлений дальнейшего развития данного исследования предлагается создание компьютерной агентной имитационной модели экономики и общества со встроенными механизмами координации. Обсуждается возможность создания единой модели и общей теории социально-экономической координации, которые могут служить методологической основой для создания общей теории социально-экономической деятельности

Socio-Economic Coordination Mechanisms Design: Conceptual Model

This study discusses socio-economic coordination mechanism design, which allows, in comparison with the classical mechanism design theory, to obtain a wider class of solutions, but with the loss of the ability to use the mechanism design's mathematical models and methods. The concepts of the coordinating activities and the basic forms of coordination of socio-economic agents are defined. The fundamental coordination process, which is present in all coordinated systems, is described. On this methodological basis the prerequisites, fundamentals and properties of socio-economic coordination are considered. A conceptual model of coordination is proposed, including a three-step algorithm for the coordination mechanism designing. As illustrations, based on the proposed algorithm some of the well-known coordination mechanisms are considered. Using the conceptual model of coordination, possible changes in the design and properties of coordination mechanisms because of the digitalization of socio-economic processes are analyzed. It is shown that digitalization leads to the convergence of the characteristics of basic forms of coordination and to the unification of their elements in digital form. This opens the possibility of creating a distributed computer system that performs the functions of a universal coordination mechanism. As one of the directions for the further development of this study, the creation of a computer agent-based simulation model of economy/society with the embedded coordination mechanisms is proposed. The possibility of creating a unified model and general theory of socio-economic coordination, which can serve as the methodological basis for creating a general theory of socio-economic activity, is discussed

Building agent-based simulations using structural and process mental models

This paper provides a design rationale for a mechanism that enforces a correct mapping between a model of a nested agent organization and a model of a composite interaction-based business process. We use an example of a collaborative process to illustrate the features of this mechanism. The mapping is realized through an isomorphism between two formal belief structures. The main advantages of this approach are clarity and simplicity of the process and organizational models, and easy simulation due to the automatic assignment of agents to role-based interactions
