A Tool for Simulated Social Experiments

SIMULATION, 2000
A new agent-based model is presented of the investiga tion of collective behavior with a large number of deci sion makers operating in a stochastic environment. (An agent is an entity that interacts with and contributes to its environment. A set of agents can be a simplified representation of a society.) The model has three distinc tive new features ...

Can We Fix Social Media? Testing Prosocial Interventions using Generative Social Simulation

arXiv.org
Social media platforms have been widely linked to societal harms, including rising polarization and the erosion of constructive debate. Can these problems be mitigated through prosocial interventions?

Integrating LLM in Agent-Based Social Simulation: Opportunities and Challenges

arXiv.org
This position paper examines the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in social simulation, analyzing their potential and limitations from a computational social science perspective. We first review recent findings on LLMs'ability to replicate key aspects

The Epistemologies of Social Simulation Research

2009
What is the best method for doing simulation research? This has been the basis of a continuing debate within the social science research community. Resolving it is important if the community is to demonstrate clearly that simulation is an effective method for research in the social sciences.

Social Simulations for Border Security

2012 European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference, 2012
EADS North America and George Mason University have partnered to build analytical tools for border security that incorporate social, cultural, behavioral and organizational aspects of interactions among border security forces, smugglers and the population and represent integrated technology architectures made up of fixed and mobile sensor and ...

Coupling Macro Dynamics and Micro States for Long-Horizon Social Simulation

arXiv.org
Social network simulation aims to model collective opinion dynamics in large populations, but existing LLM-based simulators mainly focus on aggregate dynamics while largely ignoring individual internal states. This limits their ability to capture opinion

Open Access for Social Simulation. [PDF]

J. Artif. Soc. Soc. Simul., 2007
We consider here issues of open access to social simulations, with a particular focus on software licences, though also briefly discussing documentation and archiving. Without any specific software licence, the default arrangements are stipulated by the Berne Convention (for those countries adopting it), and are unsuitable for software to be used as ...

A SIMULATION OF THE IMPACT OF MEDIA ON SOCIAL COHESION

Advances in Complex Systems, 2003
One 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.
