Abstract

This paper synthesizes two areas of research: control models in networks and sustainable development of active systems. The concept of an active network (an active system with a network structure) is proposed and formalized. Two common classes, hierarchical and non-hierarchical active networks, are identified and studied; some illustrative examples are given. The sustainable management problem of active networks is stated, and approaches to its solution are described. A model example of opinion control in an active network with sustainable development requirements is numerically simulated. For this purpose, the author’s method of qualitatively representative scenarios is used.
