Background. Complex organizational and technical specialized systems that are in competition are considered. It is more convenient to consider models of such systems as multi-agent. The consequences of incompleteness and inaccuracy of information received for processing in the control subsystem are problems of modeling their functioning. In addition, in the presence of competition, irrational actions are possible, both of agents implementing control action, and of agents managing processes occurring in the systems under consideration. It is necessary to level out the problems that have arisen for acceptable control actions of officials at the control point. Materials and methods. To overcome the problems, it is proposed to include in the models of functioning the imitation of emotional states of agents, since a person in similar situations is able to make rational decisions due to the emotions that arise. The generalized algorithm of the influence of emotions and the possibility of imitation of emotional states are analyzed; proposals for the use of emotional agents in models are developed. Results. Based on the generalized algorithm of the influence of emotions on the functioning of the systems under consideration, the simulation processes related to changes in the emotional state of agents are determined. It is proposed to use the simulation of emotional states in models of a certain group. Conclusions. Research devoted to the imitation of achieving the purpose of emotional agents allows us to bring the models of the systems under consideration closer to real situations. A generalized algorithm for changing the emotional states of agents makes it possible to determine imitation processes in system models and simulate them.
