Here is presented the basic methodological approaches for application in the theoretical analysis of social networks. Further, it is proposed to apply the method of agent-based modeling, which today, in the authors’ opinion, can be the most adaptive for modeling internal processes of such dynamic social systems as social networks. The most popular software tools for building agent-based models are described and the software AnyLogic developed by XJTeknologies, which has a number of competitive advantages, is highlighted as the most versatile and multifunctional. Keyphrases: agent-based modeling, information influence, social networks
