Abstract

The purpose of the article is to develop a method for predicting the preferred timing of the modernization of the information system in order to eliminate the causes of its functional obsolescence. Functional obsolescence occurs when the system is unable to meet the changed requirements of users in terms of the composition and quality of the information service functions provided by the system. In order to determine the preferred timing of modernization, it is necessary to have information about trends in the development of user needs, which, in turn, are associated with the possibility of new ideas and technical solutions appearing on the planning horizon of the management of the development of the information system, expanding the requirements for the list and quality of the service functions provided. One of the problems hindering the prediction of the dynamics of functional obsolescence of an information system is the non-stochastic uncertainty of information about parameters (the beginning, the pace, the limit level) of the obsolescence process. Such information can be obtained only from experts in the subject area in the form of approximate (fuzzy) estimates on the axes of time and the degree of obsolescence. The scientific novelty lies in the application of a new mathematical forecasting model of a twice-fuzzy time series within the framework of the proposed method, which allows to obtain two forms of forecast: a direct forecast — in the form of a fuzzy forecast estimate of the degree of obsolescence for given future values of time sections and a reverse forecast — in the form of a fuzzy time forecast estimate of the date of obsolescence. The article contains a description of the features of obtaining and presenting fuzzy expert assessments of changes in the degree of functional obsolescence over time; a description of a model for predicting the process of functional obsolescence and a method for determining the interval assessment of the timing of the onset of functional obsolescence.
