      <abstract>
        <p>Electronic media resources, including websites which occupy a leading niche, have a much shorter history than printed equivalents of means of communication between users. However, their focus on computers, electronic devices and software, and, in particular, the Internet has caused a rapid development of the technical and software component of this industry on one hand, and a rapid growth of active users, reaching several billion on the other hand. Global and relatively short-time distribution of sites, as well the subjective preferences of their developers, generates significant problems of a high-quality nature. Considering the above mentioned, the presented article has revealed the essence of the information approach to the development of the alternatives and finding the optimal options for high-quality website design, implemented on the basis of considering the prevailing influence of Pareto set factors. The theoretical basis of the research was the method of hierarchies' analysis, multi-attribute utility theory and multi-objective optimization.</p>

      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>The problem of the quality of printing products and processes related to its manufacture has not
lost its relevance during the centuries of existence of the printed word – one of the main means of
readers communication [1]. Theoretical and applied achievements in the field of publishing and
printing demand a continuous upgrading of products, while a constant competition in the sales market
determines further steps to improve it [2-4]. Computerization of the printing process caused its
significant progress on one hand, and became the reason for finding the best ways of producing
information (on the point of time, cost and efficiency) and conveying it to the users on the other hand
[5-7]. The result was the emergence of electronic devices of communication, which, enhanced by the
appearance of the Internet, carried out a revolutionary coup in the field of exchange of world online
information and global communication without borders.</p>
      <p>The websites have become one of the most effective and most commonly used tools to store the
data compiled page by page (like in a printed book), accessed through the homepage (similar to the
content in a printed edition) using a browser, such as Internet Explorer, Edge, or Chrome via a
website URL (similar to a book title). This comparison with the traditional book is interesting in the
point that the electronic information content is developed by the application of universal methodology
of hierarchical data structuring [8-10], which makes it possible to use a wide range of theoretical
researches obtained in the course of publishing and printing processes design and focused on printed
(paper) products [11-13].</p>
      <p>Despite the large number of existing websites (there are up to two billion of websites in the
Internet), researchers distinguish a little more than two dozen of their types or categories [15,16].
These include web archives, corporate, gaming, government, reference, news, personal websites,
social networks, etc. This classification becomes a prerequisite for distinguishing the quality
characteristic of the vast majority of web resources from the general set of factors and allows to define
some generalized subset of determining factors which serves the initial research base to measure the
degree and priority of their influence on the development of alternatives and defining the best options
of the design process. Thus, a logical addition to existing software systems and technical devices
ensuring the quality of websites could be a theoretically balanced information component that will
confirm the relationship between the factors of the website development process and the degree of
their prognostic impact on obtaining a prognostically high-quality product.</p>
    </sec>
    <sec id="sec-2">
      <title>2. Formal problematic statements</title>
      <p>The quality of electronic web resources depends not only on the priorities of the identified factors,
but also on the modes (options) selected for the implementation of electronic resources design
processes. Their efficiency is certainly determined by conditional numerical expression of factors
influence (if any) on the alternative efficiency [19, 20] or fuzzy ratios of advantages in the projected
variations at the absence of numerical expression of the factor’s "participation" in the process of
websites development [15, 18]. Of course, the initial stage of solving the problem of alternatives
development and determining the optimal one is to distinguish from the general set the factors that
dominate the others by their influence, that is, factors with lower weight priorities are removed from
further consideration. The limitation of the number of factors is justified by the use of the Pareto
principle [7, 14], its application simplifies the process of alternatives development and ensures
sufficient quality of the result for practical use.</p>
      <p>For the first case, the problem of multi-sectoral optimization on a set of alternatives D in the
presence of target functions f ( x) = ( f1 ( x) ,..., fm ( x)) is to form utility functions, calculate their
values and set the maximum value, that is, fi ( x) → max, i =1,m [7, 14]. Multi-criterial choice of
x∈D
alternative is based on the method of linear convolution of criteria [16], based on linear combination
of partial functionals f1,..., fm into one generalized target functionality</p>
      <p>m
F ( w, x) = ∑ wi fi ( x) → max; w ∈W , (1)</p>
      <p>i=1 x∈D
where W =w =(w1,..., wm )T ; wi &gt; 0; ∑im=1 wi =1 .</p>
      <p>The value of utility functions is equated with the corresponding weights wi of factors involved in
the development of optimal alternatives, which is determined on the basis of the theorem of the
method of multi-criterial theory of utility [7, 19]: for criteria (in our case, factors) conditionally
independent by their usefulness and advantage there is a function of utility</p>
      <p>m
U ( x) = ∑ wiui ( yi ) , (2)</p>
      <p>i=1
which serves as a criterion for choosing the best option. At the same time U ( x) – multi-criterial
utility function (0 ≤ U ( x) ≤ 1) of the x alternative;
ui ( yi ) is a utility function of the i factor;
(0 ≤ ui ( yi ) ≤ 1) ; yi is the value of the x alternative by i factor; wi is weight of the i factor, where
m
0 &lt; wi &lt; 1, ∑ wi =1</p>
      <p>i=1</p>
      <p>The practical implementation of the method regarding the website design process will be given in
the appropriate section below.</p>
      <p>To complete and confirm the reliability of the research, we will use another method for calculating
the optimal design option for the electronic resource, which is used in the absence of a numerical
expression of "participation" of factors in the development of alternatives. In this case, the
multiobjective optimization method [7, 20-21] is preferred, according to which fuzzy relations of paired
preferences between alternatives are used for decision-making, their degree of availability can be set
by a number on a segment [0;1]. Let us give a brief essence of the method [7, 14].</p>
      <p>For a couple of alternatives ( x, y ) relations of unrestrained advantage F means that x is not
worse than y , it means that x ≥ y ; similarly, if y is not worse than , x , then ( y ≥ x) ; on the
condition that x and y are not comparable it follows that ( x, y ) ∉ F та ( y, x) ∉ F . It is claimed that
for strict utility functions, f j the alternative x with a higher score f j ( x) prevails by j factor in the
y alternative, which has a lower rate f j ( y ) and this advantage of Fj is described by a clear ratio:
Fj ={( x, y ) : f j ( x) ≥ f j ( y ), x, y ∈ X } .
(3)</p>
      <p>Finally, on the X set we choose an alternative, having the highest rate of the utility function, when
considering the factors involved in the process:</p>
      <p>f j ( x0 ) ≥ f j ( y ), ∀j =1, m; ∀y ∈ X . (4)</p>
      <p>As a result, the Pareto-optimal alternative is defined, helping to make a theoretically justified
decision concerning the fuzzy relations of advantages between factors which allow to obtain an
electronic resource of a proper quality.</p>

      <title>3. Literary review</title>
      <p>The hierarchical design of websites whose URLs indicate the site name and functional purpose has
been noted above; the content is arranged page by page with an address entrance through the main
page using a browser. The architecture and access to the electronic data storage are somewhat similar
to the technology of hierarchical data structuring tested by the practice and method of printed products
use. It suggests the possibility and feasibility of application of theoretical basis developed in the
course of research of printed editions technology and quality design, to the processes of electronic
resources development.</p>
      <p>Considering the above-mentioned the research works concerning the information aspect of the
development and predictive assessment of the quality of printing products occupy a significant place
in the list of used sources. The initial stages of this process are related to the information technologies
for the development quality and artistic and technical design of the books [1, 2], methodological
developments in solving the problem of forecasting and ensuring the quality of publishing and
printing processes [6]. An important component concerns the research of the process of printed books
reproduction; this research methodology after certain modifications may be suitable for the
distribution of electronic editions [3-5]. In-depth analysis and significant results have been
represented in a fundamental monograph [7], describing the methods and means of processing and
synthesis of factors models having influence on the quality of book products, modeling alternative
design options for book editions. A great interest has been caused by works directly or indirectly
related to the topics of this article. Theoretical basis for ensuring the quality of publishing and printing
processes has been developed concerning the design of alternative implementation options [8], a
multi-criterial choice of alternative variants of compositional design of the edition on the basis of
linear convolution of criteria [9] and the development of alternatives based on fuzzy advantages ratios
[10]. Alternative editions, including the quality of artistic, technical and compositional design of
editions [8, 11, 12] and the printing process have been offered in the works [13, 14].</p>
      <p>The fundamental points underlying the technologies of website development and usage contain the
history of development, prevalence rating, software, basic principles of additive web design, which
enables practical display of information, convenient navigation, compatibility and possibility to work on
the whole range of devices, have been offered in [15, 16]. The list of extended sets of factors related to
site quality indicators and step-by-step technology for developers can be obtained in [17, 18].</p>
      <p>A brief overview of literary sources indicates the absence of a theoretically balanced
methodological approach to the problem of website quality development. At the same time, the
essence of scientific novelty and practical value of the solutions recommended in the article consists
in the use of methods and means of the theory of research of operations, modeling theory, as the basis
of formalized expression of the degree of impact of certain factors on the quality of website design
through the development of alternative and defiining the optimal options for the implementation of
the processes.</p>

      <title>Alternatives modeling by method of linear convolution of criteria</title>
      <p>Let the Pareto set be expressed by the factors F1, F2, F3, F4. We give three alternative options for
the implementation of the design process, marking them 1, 2, 3. Taking into account the formula (2)
we will have the following parameters for calculations: m = 4 ; ui ( yi ) = uij that is utility of j
alternative ( j = 1, 2,3) by i factor (i = 1,..., 4) . Finally, the expression for calculating the values of
utility functions will look like this:</p>

      <p>i=1
where U j is a multi-factor assessment of utility of j alternative. The assessment of the alternatives by

should be noted that the following condition has been adopted ∑ pij =100; j =1,2,3 to evaluate the
i=1
options.</p>
      <p>Factors specified in Table 1 are considered the starting set with the initial weight values. For
further research, according to the second column and the Saati Comparative Scale [7] we build a
matrix of paired comparisons in the Table 2; after its processing we get the refined values of the
Pareto set factors wi , suitable for calculating utility functions by the formula (5).
Matrix elements wFi wFj mean the result of comparison of weight values wFi and wFj .</p>
      <p>As a result of the matrix processing and normalizing the components of its own main vector, we
obtain the final weight values of the w1, w2 , w3 , w4 factors.</p>
      <p>The next step concerns obtaining the values of the utility functions of j alternative by i factor on
the basis of paired comparisons matrixes, containing pij values elements that reflect the advantages of
alternatives relative to each of the factors in the rows of Table 1. Finally, we get the value of utility
functions for the following factors: F1 – u11, u12 , u13 ; Z2 – u21, u22 , u23 ; Z3 – u31, u32 , u33 ; Z4 –
u41, u42 , u43 .</p>
      <p>The final multi-factor assessment of the usefulness of alternatives for variants 1, 2, 3 can be
expressed on the basis of the (3.3) formula by the following ratios:</p>
      <p>U1 = w1 ⋅ u11 + w2 ⋅ u21 + w3 ⋅ u31 + w4 ⋅ u41;
U 2 = w1 ⋅ u12 + w2 ⋅ u22 + w3 ⋅ u32 + w4 ⋅ u42 ;
U3 = w1 ⋅ u13 + w2 ⋅ u23 + w3 ⋅ u33 + w4 ⋅ u43.

      <p>The maximum value of utility functions Ui (i = 1, 2,3) of the combined partial target functionals
determines the best option for the implementation of the website design process.

      <title>Modeling of alternatives by multi-objective optimization method</title>
      <p>Since the initial criteria for the multicritical alternative problem are the factors (criteria) of the
Pareto set (the edition design process), it is necessary to convolve many criteria into one scalar. To do
this, we use the method of intersection, the essence of which is as follows [7, 14].</p>
      <p>m
Let's note Z1 =  Fj . It is claimed that a set of alternatives with an advantage ratio Z1 corresponds
j=1
to a set of alternatives with utility functions f j ( x) . This means that we replace a set of relations
Fj ( j = 1, m ) with an intersection and find undominated alternatives for a fuzzy advantage ratio Z1 . If
µ j ( x, y ) is the function of affiliation to a fuzzy advantage ratio Fj , then</p>
      <p>Considering (7) the function of affiliation (convolution of criteria) for a fuzzy advantage ratio Z1

      <p>Similarly, one more type of relations convolution{Fj } is introduced, which uses the weights and

      <title>6. Experiment</title>
      <p>For further research by the above-mentioned methods we will distinguish the factors of Pareto
subset from some generalized set [16-18]. Also, in addition to the semantic name, we assign them the
conditional weights defined by the experts on the column scale, which determine among the general
set the priorities of the dominating factors regarding the impact on the process of website quality
development. So, for further processing we form a set F = {F1, F2 , F3 , F4} , where: F1 (100) is site
content (text, illustrations, diagrams, tables, etc.); F2 (70) is usability (design, interface); F3 (50) is
information security (protection from unauthorized access); F4 (40) – performance (response time for
user commands).</p>
      <p>According to the logic of the method of linear convolution of criteria, we build table 3 to evaluate
the alternatives by factors, keeping their weight values mentioned above. Simultaneously, we arrange
combinations of assessment of the factors share in the alternatives.</p>
      <p>The total set of factors is more complete compared to the Pareto subset, so it is advisable to
consider them as an autonomous set and calculate the specified weight values for them. To do this,
according to the initial weights of the factors of Table 3, a matrix of paired comparisons is built,
which is then processed by the program "Simulation modeling in system analysis by binary
comparisons" [22]. It provides us with the refined normalized weight values of the Pareto set factors:</p>
      <p>The criteria for the reliability of calculations are within the permissible limits, namely: the
maximum actual value of the matrix is λmax = 4,1 ; consistency index is IU = 0, 06 ; consistency ratio
is WU = 0, 07 . New weight values will be used for calculating the utility functions of factors.</p>
      <p>Experimental determination of the optimal variant of site quality development by multi-objective
optimization method can be performed trough the step by step implementation of the following
algorithm [14].</p>
      <p>Step 1: We establish a set of alternatives X {x1, x2 , x3} . For each of the factors of the Pareto set, we
establish fuzzy advantages ratios between variants that will be identified by the mnemonic names of
factors Fj , j = 1, 2,3, 4 .</p>
      <p>Step 2. The ratio Fj will correspond to the weight values of wj factors and their corresponding
functions of affiliation µ j ( x, y ) , calculated according to the rule (7). We find a convolution of fuzzy

Step 3: In the</p>
      <p>{ X , Z1} set we establish a set of undominated alternatives Z1ud with affiliation

      <p>The procedures for obtaining numerical results will be carried out sequentially according to the
theoretical principles of both methods involved in the research.</p>
      <p>In accordance with the method of linear convolution of criteria, we calculate the value of the utility
functions of factors. To do this, we build the paired comparison matrices according to the data of the
last three columns of Table 3, which reflect the advantages of alternatives for each of the factors. We
will check the consistency of the results using the maximum custom value of the priority vector λmax
for each matrix, consistency index IU and consistency ratio WU .</p>
      <p>Thus, the matrix of pair comparisons for the "Site Content" factor (F1) considering the percentage
of its effectiveness in the alternatives will look like this (Table 4).
and find the best option for website design. Let us have a set of alternatives X {x1, x2, x3} according to
Step 1.</p>
      <p>We leave without changes the factors of the Pareto set, which determine the total relation of the
advantages, and the weights obtained earlier by the priority of factors influence on the website
development, namely: w1 =0,5; w2 =0,3; w3 =0,1; w4 =0,1 .</p>
      <p>For each of the factors, we will establish fuzzy relations of the advantages between the options.

      <p>Performance ( F4 ): x1 &gt; x2 , x1 &gt; x3 , x2 =x3.</p>
      <p>According to the above-mentioned relations in accordance with the condition (7), we build the
matrix of relations F1 - F4 , which simultaneously determine the functions of affiliation to the
advantages of alternatives by factors (Table 5-8).

the matrix of values of affiliation functions is entered in table 9.</p>
      <p>The implementation of step 3 is carried out on the basis of Table 9, according to which Z1

µ Z2 ( x1, x3 ) = w1µ F1 ( x1, x3 ) + w2µ F2 ( x1, x3 ) + w3µ F3 ( x1, x3 ) + w4µ F4 ( x1, x3 ) ;
µ Z2 ( x2 , x1 ) = w1µ F1 ( x2 , x1 ) + w2µ F2 ( x2 , x1 ) + w3µ F3 ( x2 , x1 ) + w4µ F4 ( x2 , x1 ) ;
µ Z2 ( x2 , x3 ) = w1µ F1 ( x2 , x3 ) + w2µ F2 ( x2 , x3 ) + w3µ F3 ( x2 , x3 ) + w4µ F4 ( x2 , x3 ) ;
µ Z2 ( x3 , x1 ) = w1µ F1 ( x3 , x1 ) + w2µ F2 ( x3 , x1 ) + w3µ F3 ( x3 , x1 ) + w4µ F4 ( x3 , x1 ) ;
µ Z2 ( x3 , x2 ) = w1µ F1 ( x3 , x2 ) + w2µ F2 ( x3 , x2 ) + w3µ F3 ( x3 , x2 ) + w4µ F4 ( x3 , x2 ) .</p>
      <p>The results of calculations of the values of Z2 convolutional affiliation functions will be displayed
in Table 10.</p>
      <p>When calculating convolutions, the value of affiliation functions specified by the relations
matrices in tables 5-8 has been used.</p>
      <p>For Z2 convolution we find a set of undominated alternatives (step 5) by the formula (13):
µ Zud2 ( x1 ) =1− sup{(0.1 − 0.9);(0.6 − 0.4)} =0.8;
µ Zud2 ( x2 ) =1− sup{(0.9 − 0.1);(0.6 − 0.5)} =0.2;
µ Zud ( x3 ) =1− sup{(0.4 − 0.6);(0.5 − 0.6)} =1.</p>
      <p>2
As a result, we get µ Zud ( xi ) = [0.8; 0.2;1] .</p>
      <p>2</p>
      <p>The last step 6 is to find the convolution of Z1ud and Z2ud sets intersection, that is, Zud = Z1ud  Z2ud ,
with the relations function</p>
      <p>µ Zud ( xi ) =xi min{µ Zu1d ( ) ,µ Zud2 ( xi )}, i =. 1,3 (16)
Considering that µ Zud ( xi ) = [1;1;1] , we get µ Zud ( xi ) = [0.8; 0.2;1] .</p>
      <p>1</p>
      <p>Z convolution function indicates that the best alternative to the design process of a book edition
with the above-mentioned advantages of the utility of factors is x3 variant as its relations function has
the maximum value.</p>
      <p>The obtained data confirm the accuracy of the results of investigation, since the best option for
designing a book edition calculated above by the method of linear convolution of criteria is also the
third option. The expert developers and users of websites have the same opinion which coincides with
this theoretically obtained conclusion.</p>

      <title>8. Conclusions</title>
      <p>The analysis of publications related to the topic of the proposed article has been carried out. The
result of the review indicates a lack of theoretical research of the processes of electronic resources
design which is an important component of modern media space. The leading thesis for solving this
problem is the use of information methodology involving theoretically balanced and successfully
applied information technologies and computerized systems, applied tools and simulation models
which caused significant progress in the field of printing products quality development.</p>
      <p>After investigation of modern technologies applied for the websites development and use we can
assume that one of the practically valuable approaches is to distinguish sets of factors that
significantly affect the design and development of the quality of electronic resource.</p>
      <p>These factors become the information base, which causes their ranking by functional importance
and degree of weight due to the priori determination of the website quality. It is important to carry out
prognostic evaluation and ensuring the effectiveness of the website development process through the
preliminary development of alternative options for the implementation of processes and calculation of
the optimal design option according to the established criteria.</p>
      <p>The variant of application of the proposed methodology is given in the presented article
researching the process of websites design and quality development. As a result, the essence of
analytical and algorithmic support suitable for the development of alternatives has been revealed and
optimal options fit for the development of electronic product with a valuable content, compositionally
complete, protected from unauthorized access and convenient to use have been found.</p>
      <p>An important initial condition is the separation of factors of the so-called Pareto set, ordered by the
importance of the prevailing influence on the researched process. For theoretical substantiation and
effective design of the alternatives, the following methods have been used: a method of analysis of
hierarchies, which ensured obtaining of weight priorities of the identified factors through the
construction and processing of paired comparisons matrixes; methods of multicriterial theory of utility
and multi-objective optimization, offering the mathematical component which served the basis of the
research.</p>
      <p>The formulas for practical calculation of the values of utility functions and functions of affiliation
are given, according to which a decision is made to choose the best option for the implementation of
the website design process. Obtaining the same decisions by two methods used to determine the
optimal implementation of the website development process indicates the proper reliability of the
results.</p>
      <p>Since the submitted article is one of the several previously published on similar topics, some of the
provisions have been used from other works indicated in the list of references.</p>
