In the modern context of information technology development, the management of labor processes in complex IT projects acquires the features of self-organization and dynamic adaptation. The article examines the principles of configuring agent interactions within the labor environment of IT projects as a tool for enhancing the efficiency of team management. The agent-based interaction model makes it possible to consider each team member as an autonomous agent capable of making decisions, adapting behavior to the task context, and interacting with other elements of the system within a distributed environment. Conceptual foundations have been developed for constructing the architecture of agent interactions, based on the principles of cognitive exchange, communicative coherence, flexible role distribution, and multilevel task management. It is determined that the key factor in the effectiveness of such interactions is the balance between agent autonomy and centralized process coordination. A systematic classification of agent configuration types is proposed: hierarchical, decentralized, hybrid, and cognitively adaptive, which differ in the level of information connectivity and the system’s response speed. The study also investigates the impact of cognitive factors on the dynamics of interactions between agents, such as trust, intellectual compatibility, role specialization, and the ability for collective learning. A model for assessing the effectiveness of agent interaction is proposed, using indicators of performance, informational transparency, decision synchronization level, and team adaptability index. It is established that the configuration of agent connections directly determines the speed of decision-making, the coherence of actions, and the level of project innovation activity. The results of the study have practical significance for building multi-agent IT team management systems, developing algorithms for adaptive resource allocation, and creating cognitive project management dashboards. The proposed principles can be used to optimize communication processes, reduce the risk of conflicts, and enhance the resilience of organizational structures under conditions of high labor environment complexity.

The metaverse is a collective common space for interaction created as a result of the convergence of physical reality and virtual space, including augmented reality and the Internet. The potential of the metaverse in the field of education is of growing interest, and many researchers are exploring ways to improve the effectiveness of student learning, while reducing time and labor costs to ensure the educational process. However, the systemic and technological aspects of providing education through the metaverse remain insufficiently developed. To fill this gap, the paper presents the concept and architecture of the metaverse, combining artificial intelligence technologies, Web3 and blockchain technology to create a learning environment. The existing approaches to the creation of intelligent systems and gamification of learning, as well as some projects for the creation of a metaverse, are analyzed. The purpose of the proposed approach to creating a metaverse is to design a virtual learning space that begins with reflecting the physical world, storing user learning trajectories, knowledge trees in the blockchain, and providing a secure and open community. The main stages of the metaverse development are presented, including cloning, expansion and integration of physical and virtual components, as well as blockchain technologies. It is noted that by now the necessary prerequisites have developed in Russia for the realization of the metaverse as one of the foundations of future education.
