  • Simulating Social Complexity

    A Handbook

    Edited by Bruce Edmonds, Ruth Meyer ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    This volume examines all aspects of using agent or individual-based simulation. This approach represents systems as individual elements having their own set of differing states and internal processes. The interactions between elements in the simulation represent interactions in the target systems. What makes this "social" is that it can represent an observed society.Social systems include all ...

  • The Complexity of Social Norms

    Edited by Maria Xenitidou, Bruce Edmonds ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This book explores the view that normative behaviour is part of a complex of social mechanisms, processes and narratives that are constantly shifting. From this perspective, norms are not a kind of self-contained social object or fact, but rather an interplay of many things that we label as norms when we ‘take a snapshot’ of them at a particular instant. Further, this book pursues the hypothesis ... Read more

  • Simulating Social Complexity

    A Handbook

    Edited by Bruce Edmonds, Ruth Meyer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Social systems are among the most complex known. This poses particular problems for those who wish to understand them. The complexity often makes analytic approaches infeasible and natural language approaches inadequate for relating intricate cause and effect. However, individual- and agent-based computational approaches hold out the possibility of new and deeper understanding of such systems ... Read more

  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    by Philip Ball ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...
