Agent-Based Social Simulation and Modeling in Social Computing
2008Agent-based social simulation (ABSS) as a main computational approach to social simulation has attracted increasing attention in the field of social computing. With the development of computer and information technologies, many new ABSS approaches have been proposed with wide application.. In this paper, we aim at reviewing research and applications of

Exploring Complexity: Agent-Based Social Simulations
2010Anthropology, economics, sociology, political science and the crossover social sciences base their research on some simpler or more complex model of the individual and the society. These models, depending on their complexity, focus on matching real-world behaviors in one aspect or another, and are usually designed for a specific purpose. This, however,

Migration, Communication and Social Networks – An Agent-Based Social Simulation
2013Due to the high dynamics present on several social phenomena, it is extremely difficult to carry out scientific investigations on social sciences. This is true especially for those phenomena most relevant for social sciences (e.g., human migration) which significantly increase the difficulty to perform an objective scientific investigation. To overcome

Analyzing Radicalism Spread Using Agent-Based Social Simulation
2019This work presents an agent-based model of radicalization growth based on social theories. The model aims at improving the understanding of the influence of social links on radicalism spread. The model consists of two main entities, a Network Model and an Agent Model.

Krowdix: Agent-Based Simulation of Online Social Networks
2014Simulations can be used for the study of Online Social Networks (OSNs) as a means to harness their size and complexity, and to overcome the difficulties to set up experiments in real environments. Most existing tools for the analysis of OSNs focus on the graph structure of networks and emulate changes only from statistical data.

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 ...

AGENT-BASED SOCIAL SIMULATION: A DYNAMICAL-SYSTEMS VIEWPOINT
Cybernetics and Systems, 2010Physics is expanding outward from its traditional base; nowadays many physicists work on phenomena involving biology, economics, and sociology. How can we get to grips with physics in these fields where traditional equation-based modelling is difficult to implement?

Agent Based Modelling for Social Simulation
2013This document is the result of an exploratory project looking into the status of, and opportunities for Agent Based Modelling (ABM) at TNO. The project focussed on ABM applications containing social interactions and human factors, which we termed ABM for social simulation (ABM4SS). During the course of this project two workshops were organized.

FARM: Architecture for Distributed Agent-Based Social Simulations
2019In many domains, high-resolution agent-based simulations require experiments with a large number (tens or hundreds of millions) of computationally complex agents. Such large-scale experiments are usually run for efficiency on high-performance computers or clusters, and therefore agent-based simulation frameworks must support parallel distributed ...
