Abstract
Complex organizational and technical systems in conflict are considered. The concept of a common undesirable goal for conflicting systems is introduced. Examples of its achievement are given. This state of systems and external environments is considered in which it is possible to achieve a common undesirable goal, despite the actions of decision makers using modern means of decision support. A formal model of conflicting systems is being built. The axioms of the functioning of systems are introduced, the implementation of which leads to the simultaneous achievement of undesirable goals by both systems. A possible algorithm for such an achievement is given. A simulation model is constructed based on the use of a modified Kaufman NK-automaton. The results of experiments are presented in which ensembles of modified Kaufman NK-automata participate, interacting with each other as conflicting systems. Various tactics of interactions of modified Kaufman NK-automata are considered. Conclusions are made about the results of experiments.
