Abstract
In this work a novel model of information spreading processes in systems of dynamic active-inactive actors is presented. In our model information can flow only through those actors of the system that are currently active. Based on this model we carried out computer simulations showing how the activity of agents affect the process. We also carried out some basic investigation of the effect of inhomogeneous activity. The results of the work can be used to qualitatively predict what would be the effect if the activity of agents would change in a social system.
