Objet : [JASSS] New issue of Journal of Artificial Societies and Social
Simulation, vol. 7(3)
The Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation
(http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS.html) published issue 3 of Volume
7 on 30-Jun-2004.
JASSS is an electronic, refereed journal devoted to the exploration and
understanding of social processes by means of computer simulation. It
is freely available, with no subscription.
=================
This issue features an agent-based study of the viability of
containment measures as a defence to the spread of infectious diseases
such as might arise from bioterrorism or from organisms such as BSE
('mad cow disease'); and an agent-based comparison of eleven
alternative electoral systems in terms of the representativeness of the
politicians gaining seats.
There is a comprehensive report of a survey of 196 social simulation
researchers which also offers a empirically based classification of
agent-based models in the field.
A paper reports on the possibility of deriving agent rules from
experiments in the classroom with people and another that reports the
effect of using 'cognitively realistic' agents instead of very simple
ones in an organisational simulation.
Two papers continue research avenues that have been the subject of
considerable attention in JASSS: one on co-operation in social dilemmas
(n-player games) and the other on opinion dynamics in social networks.
