For a given permutation group G, G ⊆ Sn1×...×Snl, where Snr be symmetric group of order nr, we introduce the many-sorted partial algebra MGn1, ..., nl(K), of G-symmetric multidimensional matrices over a field K, with a family of operations being the combinations of standard tensor, Cayley and scalar multiplications. The particular type subalgebras yield nontrivial generalizations of Bose-Mesner algebras and related structures such as association schemes, cellular rings, coding schemes, incidence structures and some other. Aim of talk is to reveal some new aspects and problems arising by such generalizations.
