heal.abstract	We demonstrate an effective mechanism for gain-controlled soliton routing in dissipative optical lattices. An effective particle model reveals the essential features of soliton dynamics in such structures. The results presented are directly applicable to general inhomogeneous systems where interplay between gain and loss mechanisms occurs. Focusing on the complexity of soliton dynamics rather than on the complexity of their profiles we have analyzed scenarios that are promising for all-optical control concepts and applications. © 2012 American Physical Society.	en
