内容説明・目次

内容説明

This path-breaking book explains how simulation models can be created using recently developed artificial intelligence techniques. The reader is taken through the methods of testing and experiment, and is shown how the formulation of social theory and methodology can be aided by simulation. The appeal of the book is two-fold. First, it introduces computer simulation to a broad range of social scientists. Second, it clearly demonstrates an important application of distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) to computer science researchers. This book is intended for academic and postgraduate researchers in social science including sociology, management, economics, social psychology, planning, archaeology, anthropology. Computer science researchers with an interest in Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI).
