To attract wide public attention to IT AC DTIP, as well as attention of all those persons for whom actual is the effective control of discrete processes of various purpose, it was necessary to develop the software tools to optimize DTIPs that would have the following set of positive properties:

•    they should be of great practical interest for the largest possible number of potential users, and therefore to be focused on various application areas, as well as on classes of real DTIPs rather than on specific processes;

•    they must be invariant to the information content that characterizes a particular process to be optimized;

•    during their development should not arise considerable difficulties in studying the properties of those processes to which these tools are purposed;

•    users of the software tools should no have large difficulties on setting the initial data for the optimization tasks, solved by them;

•    to ensure free distribution of the lite and test versions of such tools, you must provide one of the following two options of their realization:

  •    local instrumental systems (LISs) and network instrumental systems (NISs), where from the first ones are formed their lite versions — this is realized in the first 9 tools of the listed below;

  •    usual programs with the applied to them databases that require quite frequent updates, in this connection, it is proposed to charge a fee not for the use of these programs or for the solving tasks in them, but for the connection to them the next version of updated database — this is realized in the last two listed tools.

After detailed analysis of all those application areas, where discrete processes are widely encountered, as well as of the possible classes of such processes, the founder of IT AC DTIP concluded of the expediency of developing 11such software tools, which were created by him. They allow to solve tasks of finding the optimal control strategies for discrete processes of various purpose for 16 categories of persons which have direct relation to such processes (see our second website "Implementation center of IT AC DTIP"). The following table lists all these tools with indication of their purposes, as well as areas of their possible practical use.

Definition 1. Network planning — a control method based on the use of the mathematical apparatus of graph theory and systematic approach for display and algorithmization of complexes of interrelated works, actions or measures to achieve a clearly set goal.

Definition 2. Standard investments — investments that are characterized by the following three properties: financialness, singleness and informativeness. Property of financialness means putting only monetary funds in investment objects (sources of income — SI); property of singleness — a one-time investment of a specified amount of money to the selected set of SI, i.e. without the effect of accumulating; property of informativeness — the presence of investor's information about the cost of the SI he can buy and of their parameters of profitability.
