Background. The modern virtual learning environment is a complex system that includes didactic and methodical components, as well as information and software components. As program components may include various interactive simulators and testing programs with adaptive properties, an important question is the devel-opment of methods of synthesis of these components. The aim of the work is to develop a method of structural and parametric synthesis of adaptive software components of the virtual learning environment.
Materials and methods. To solve this problem the authors used the mathematical apparatus of the graphs and hypergraphs theory, methods of morphological analysis and synthesis of complex systems and methods of variability modeling of software systems.
Results. The researchers have developed a method of structural and parametric synthesis of adaptive software components of the virtual learning environment, based on the application of variability modeling techniques and the graph theory.
Conclusions. The developed method allows to significantly reduce resource con-sumption on the development of adaptive software components of the virtual learning environment, and to increase their life cycle.
