内容説明

How do social structures and group behaviours arise from the interaction of individuals? "Growing Artificial Societies" approaches this question with computer simulation techniques. Fundamental collective behaviours such as group formation, cultural transmission, combat and trade are seen to "emerge" from the interaction of individual agents following a few simple rules. In their programme, named Sugarscape, Epstein and Axtell begin the development of a "bottom up" social science. The study is part of the 2050 Project, a joint venture of the Santa Fe Institute, the World Resources Institute and the Brookings Institution. The project is an international effort to identify conditions for a sustainable global system in the next century and to design policies to help achieve such a system.

内容説明

How do social structures and group behaviors arise from the interaction of individuals? Growing Artificial Societies approaches this question with cutting-edge computer simulation techniques. Fundamental collective behaviors such as group formation, cultural transmission, combat, and trade are seen to "emerge" from the interaction of individual agents following a few simple rules. In their program, named Sugarscape, Epstein and Axtell begin the development of a "bottom up" social science that is capturing the attention of researchers and commentators alike. The study is part of the 2050 Project, a joint venture of the Santa Fe Institute, the World Resources Institute, and the Brookings Institution. The project is an international effort to identify conditions for a sustainable global system in the next century and to design policies to help achieve such a system. Copublished with the Brookings Institution
