This paper introduces a mixed-method research design for investigating complexity of social
reality. The research design integrates grounded theory (Glaser and Strauss, 1967) and …

Agent based models (ABMs) simulate actions and interactions of autonomous agents/groups
and their effect on systems as a whole, accounting for learning without assuming perfect …

In this chapter, we discuss the consequences of complexity in the real world together with
some meaningful ways of understanding and managing such situations. The implications of …

Across geography there has been variable engagement with the use of simulation and
agent-based modelling. We argue that agent-based simulation provides a complementary …

1 La simulation sociale est un domaine de recherche dont les principes explicites sont la
formalisation informatique des processus sociaux. Il s’ agit ici d’interroger cette méthode d’«…

Many simulation models just model stylised facts, and as such they are interesting and often
helpful. But simulation models can be seen as an implementation of theory in a computer, …

With the current surge of simulation studies in archaeology, there is a growing concern for the
lack of engagement and feedback between modelers and domain specialists. To facilitate …

Even though the philosophy of simulation is intended as a comprehensive reflection about
the practice of computer simulation in contemporary science, its output has been …

Die Simulation interagierender Individuen in künstlichen Gesellschaften hat erst langsam
begonnen, in den Sozialwissenschaften breiter Fuß zu fassen. Der Beitrag stellt die …
