Nowadays, we have seen a growing number of networks where nodes are connected to each other through different types of relationships. This makes identification of their topological structure and key elements both important and problematic. In this paper we propose a novel model for influence assessment in such networks using social choice rules. We evaluate node-to-node influence for each layer of the network and consider the problem of influence estimation as a problem of social choice or multi-criteria decision-making. We present various solutions that allow to aggregate information about node-to-node influence into a single vector representing the ranking of nodes or the ranking of the strongest connections in a network. Our approach takes into account individual attributes of nodes, the possibility of their group influence as well as their indirect connections. The presented model is mostly designed networks where there is no clear dependency among the layers. To present our approach we analyze the global trade food network with respect to three main products in order to identify the most important players in the field of food security.
The degree of individual manipulability of majoritarian aggregation procedures is evaluated for the case of one-dimensional positioning of alternatives and agents. The calculation of the degree of manipulability is performed for 3-5 alternatives. We find that the group of rules dominates all others in terms of the lowest share of all manipulable profiles, and for some extensions gives even the zero level manipulability.
The article describes formation and realization of the Japanese state scientific policy as the national program of development of the Japanese society. This process is considered throughout 30 years - 1970 to 2000, with a periodization of stages - decades. The analysis of the given experience has concrete practical value for our country which at all levels of the power has proclaimed the direction on development of a scientific and information society. This process is of main value from the point of view of planning, strategy, and also practice and technologies of realization.

This article is dedicated to the analysis of effectiveness of special economic zones (SEZ), a rather new, but promising phenomenon in Russian Federation economy. It includes general analysis of SEZ, its reaction to the world financial crisis, analysis of innovation implementation SEZ (II SEZ), and, in particular, its IT-potential. At the end, the cases related to IT products realized in these zones are described and some economic and financial indicators suitable to describe the dynamics of development of these agglomerations of IT enterprises are given.
At the present level of development the information and knowledge become important engines of global economic growth and key elements of national strate-gy for increasing country’s competitiveness in the international market. The article is aimed to analyze two monitoring systems of innovation capacity (ICT Development Index and Networked Readiness Index) as the indicators of development of knowledge economy and information society.
This paper reports of strong and weak points of the IT process in education from the position of the learners psychology and the psychology of the educational experience. The potential for realization of the main principles of didactics are unveiled considering the new information technologies. The negative consequences of the impact of information and communication technologies in education are brought to light. The necessity of careful examination of the IT process is underlined taking into account its imminence.
