Abstract
Taming ecological and biological networks is a key-issue. It could be used to: a) neutralize damages to ecological and biological networks, b) safeguard rare and endangered species, c) manage ecological systems at the least possible cost, and d) counteract the impacts of climate change. While I recently showed that ecological and biological networks can be efficaciously controlled both from inside (inside-control model) and outside (outside-control model), here I propose a solution to the choice of the most feasible solution to network control. To do this, I introduce the concepts of control success and feasibility.

Keywords edges control feasibility;control success;control uncertainty;genetic algorithms;network control;stochastic simulations.
