Simulation of Social Interaction (SOCINT) |
|
|
Agent-based simulation allows for the explicit representation of social
interaction within simulation. Here the behaviour of agents in the
simulation represents the behaviour of actors, with the interaction
between actors represented as messages between the agents. The outcomes of
such simulations are not always obvious from their set-up allowing for the
phenomena of emergence. This kind of simulation has its own distinctive
opportunities and problems, which has meant that it has tended to be
reported in different venues from the main simulation community, being
closer to social rather than computer science. It does allow for social
science issues to be represented explicitly and explored, which enables
for their consequences to be better understood and also for the outcomes
to be compared to observed outcomes.
This track is a chance to bring the social simulation and wider
simulation communities together and should be of particular interest to
those from the social science end of the spectrum, including (but not
limited to) social scientists themselves.
Please note that if your simulation is to model the results of policy, it
probably should go to the Policy Modelling track, and that if it
concentrates on the more computer science aspects of simulating or is not
modelling interaction between social actors then it probably belongs to the
Agent-Based Modelling track.
