Agent-based simulation analysis for social norms
2008 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2008With existence of the social custom or norm, Naylor demonstrates a possibility of stable long-run equilibria of support for a strike in a labor market, and this implies that at least some individuals will behave cooperatively and hence the prisoners' dilemma could be escaped.

Agent-Based Simulation in the Study of Social Dilemmas
Artificial Intelligence Review, 2003This review discusses agent-based social simulation (ABSS) in relation to the study of social dilemmas such as the Prisoner's Dilemma and Tragedy of the Commons. Its aims are to explore the place of ABSS in relation to other research methods such as mathematical analysis, to familiarise artificial intelligence researchers (particularly those working on

Swarm/evolutionary intelligence for agent-based social simulation
2014 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2014Several micro economic models allow to evaluate consumer's behavior using a utility function that is able to measure the success of an individual's decision. Such a decision may consist of a tuple of goods an individual would like to buy and hours of work necessary to pay for them.

A Common Protocol for Agent-Based Social Simulation. [PDF]
J. Artif. Soc. Soc. Simul., 2005 Traditional (i.e. analytical) modelling practices in the social sciences rely on a very well established, although implicit, methodological protocol, both with respect to the way models are presented and to the kinds of analysis that are performed.

A Swarm Simulation Platform for Agent-Based Social Simulations
2011The social sciences have long employed simulations and statistical models in their research methodology as testing and validation tools. Recent advances in complex networks have produced a set of new graph-based tools with which to study and characterize larges-scale, complex social data.

On the engineering of agent-based simulations of social activities with social networks
Information and Software Technology, 2012Context Models of how people move around cities play a role in making decisions about urban and land-use planning. Previous models have been based on space and time, and have neglected the social aspect of travel. Recent work on agent-based modelling shows promise as a new approach, especially for models with both social and spatial elements. Objective

Sociology and Social Theory in Agent Based Social Simulation: A Symposium
Computational & Mathematical Organization Theory, 2001A lengthy and intensive debate about the role of sociology in agent based social simulation dominated the email list simsoc@jiscmail.ac.uk during the autumn of 2000. The debate turned on the importance of models being devised to capture the properties of whole social systems and whether those properties should determine agent behaviour or, conversely ...

Business Applications of Social Agent-Based Simulation
Advances in Complex Systems, 2000Agent-based simulation is a powerful simulation modeling technique that has seen a number of applications in the last five years, including applications to real-world business problems. In this chapter I introduce agent-based simulation and review three applications to business problems: a theme park simulation, a stock market simulation, and a ...

NetArg: an agent-based social simulator with argumentative agents
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2013We show how agents with argumentative reasoning abilities can be effectively used to run social simulation experiments with NetArg. NetArg agents interact by exchanging arguments in support or against other arguments or opinions, and adapt to new knowledge. By running simulation experiments, we can replicate a robust result in social simulation, namely

(Social) Norms and Agent-Based Simulation
2012This chapter aims to identify the main relevant steps in the evolution of (social) norms as well as some of the factors or determinants of such a process and to discuss the most urgent scientific tasks to be fulfilled within a community of scientists committed to the study of norms.
