Can we replicate real human behaviour using artificial neural networks?
Agent-based modelling is a powerful tool when simulating human systems, yet when human behaviour cannot be described by simple rules or maximizing one’s own profit, we quickly reach the limits of this methodology.

Unpacking a Black Box: A Conceptual Anatomy Framework for Agent-Based Social Simulation Models
: This paper aims to improve the transparency of agent-based social simulation (ABSS) models and make it easier for various actors engaging with these models to make sense of them. It studies what ABSS is and juxtaposes its basic conceptual elements with

Agent-Based Social Simulation of the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review
When planning interventions to limit the spread of Covid-19, the current state of knowledge about the disease and specific characteristics of the population need to be considered.

Anthology: A Social Simulation Framework
Social simulation research seeks to understand the dynamics of complex human behavior by simulating populations of individual decision-makers as multi-agent systems. However, prior work in games and entertainment fail to account for interactions between social behavior, geography, and relationships in a manner that allows researchers to easily reuse ...

Social Simulation Models as Refuting Machines
: This paper discusses a prominent way in which social simulations can contribute (and have contributed) to the advance of science; namely, by refuting some of our incorrect beliefs about how the real world works.

The Ethics of Agent-Based Social Simulation
: The academic study and the applied use of agent-based modelling of social processes has matured considerably over the last thirty years. The time is now right to engage seriously with the ethics and responsible practice of agent-based social simulation.
