Growing Artificial Societies : Social Science from the Bottom up

The material on this CD-ROM provides a model for determining how social structures and group behaviour emerge from the interaction of individuals.

The authors employ computer simulation techniques to examine fundamental collective behaviours like group formation, cultural transmission and conflict. The CD-ROM includes about 50 animations that develop the scenarios described in the text in the hardback and paperback books that form part of the set of publications conveying this material.
