A SIMULATION OF THE IMPACT OF MEDIA ON SOCIAL COHESION
Advances in Complex Systems, 2003One impact of the introduction of television, according to widely held views, is an undermining of traditional values and social organization. In this study, we simulate this process by representing social communication as a Random Boolean Network in which the individuals are nodes, and each node's state represents an opinion (yes/no) about some issue.

Interpreting Social Commitment in a Simulated Theater
Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents, 2018Awareness of the surroundings as well as bodily cues is essential for effective social interaction. Nonverbal behavior such as gaze, facial expression, gesture and posture, provide cues for interpreting intent and relational status. These cues are also present as people traverse a physical setting, where locomotion and social expression integrate ...

Fiction: Simulation of Social Worlds
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2016Fiction is the simulation of selves in interaction. People who read it improve their understanding of others. This effect is especially marked with literary fiction, which also enables people to change themselves. These effects are due partly to the process of engagement in stories, which includes making inferences and becoming emotionally involved ...

Soil: An Agent-Based Social Simulator in Python for Modelling and Simulation of Social Networks
2017Social networks have a great impact in our lives. While they started to improve and aid communication, nowadays they are used both in professional and personal spheres, and their popularity has made them attractive for developing a number of business models.

Simulations on Correlated Behavior and Social Learning
2010We consider a population of agents that can choose between two risky technologies: an old one for which they know the expected outcome, and a new one for which they have only a prior. We confront different environments. In the benchmark case agents are isolated and can perform costly experiments to infer the quality of the new technology.

Reflections on Social Simulation and Complexity
2019After the involvement with a huge collection of case studies, where the experimentation may distinguish between luck and skill, our motivation was directed to see how agent-based modeling and model thinking were applied to general problem solving and case studies on complexity.

Caffè Nero: the Evaluation of Social Simulation. [PDF]
J. Artif. Soc. Soc. Simul., 2005 This contribution deals with the assessment of the quality of a simulation by discussing and comparing "real-world" and scientific social simulations. We use the example of the Caffè Nero in Guildford as a 'real-world' simulation of a Venetian café.

Agent-Based Social Simulation and PSO
2013Consumer's behavior can be modeled using a utility function that allows for measuring the $emphsuccess of an individual's decision, which consists of a tuple of goods an individual would like to buy and the hours of work necessary to pay for this purchase and consumption.
