Annotation. The article examines the specifics of agricultural supply chains and identifies the key economic problems faced by their participants in the current situation of geopolitical confrontation and economic sanctions. The most effective and up-to-date principles of building digital ecosystems in agrologistics have been identified, ensuring increased transparency, sustainability and flexibility of supply chains.
Key words. Supply chain management, agriculture, integrated planning, glocalization, cold supply chain, digital agrisupply chain, digital ecosystems in agrologistics.
Annotation. The article examines scientific approaches to the realization of the military-economic potential of the new territories of the Russian Federation in the context of their integration into the material and technical support system of the Russian Armed Forces. Particular attention is paid to the development of such tools as the localization of military and special equipment production based on local enterprises, infrastructure modernization, optimization of logistics routes, and the creation of repair bases in close proximity to the front line.
Annotation. The article presents a set of problems of application of agent-based modeling in customs affairs. The thesis about advantages of agent-based modeling as a forecasting tool in comparison with other tools is substantiated. This statement is reasonably confirmed by scientific publications of foreign and Russian scientists, including publications of the author. The main advantage of agent-based modeling is determined by its adaptability to the dynamics of the external environment.
Annotation. In the paper a multi-agent transportation model in considered in the context of multimodal and intermodal transport schemes. The elements and agents of the model are identified and described. The advantages of the multi-agent freight transportation model are shown and observed from a macro perspective of multiple freight operators’ integration. The process of decomposition and detailing of system components is considered.
Key words. Сombined transport, multi-agent models, transport optimization.
Annotation. The current turbulent political and economic situation is one of the great challenges facing the country. The logistics coordination system (SLK) is a powerful dual-use organizational and management tool. On the one hand, SLK increases the efficiency of the economy and reduces operational and investment logistics costs, on the other hand, it can improve the safety culture: help in the prevention of emergency risks and upgrade the quality emergency response management.

Annotation. The article presents the author's interpretation of the functionality of agent-based modeling as an information basis used in the design of logistics systems. A retrospective excursion into the theory of agent-based modeling is carried out, based on the results of which a conclusion is drawn about the presence of significant advantages of agent-based modeling relative to other methods for forecasting and planning logistics activities.
The article discusses statistical and economic and mathematical methods used in domestic and foreign scientific research of the tourism sector. Examples of the most popular approaches were identified. A list of basic tasks is given, for the solution of which quantitative methods of analysis were used. A logical block diagram of conducting research in the field of tourism using a modern mathematical apparatus is proposed. Problems have been highlighted that create difficulties in connecting the broad scientific community to analytical and prognostic work in tourism.
Annotation. In conditions of global reformatting of tourism and migration flows in the world, the proper supply of its huge potential will open up new opportunities to attract tourists from all over the world to Armenia.
