There are many people who are working on a lot of cool projects involving models of social action at the CSSS. A few of us (so far: Lynette Shaw and Bogdan State) are interested in getting a group together to meet and discuss general theoretical and methodological issues related to social models. Add your name if you're interested!
Anne Johnson I'm interested too.
Avril Kenney I haven't done work in this area but I'd be interested in discussions about it.
Andreas If we take Tom's word for it (and some people seem to doubt it) the field of theoretical networks is still so young, that the actual translation into "real" social problems is very limited. Except of course Twitter and the internet. My own approach to combining some social elements into ABM is basically throwing together some heuristics. That's not very thorough... Are there better solutions out there? At the same time keeping in mind that too much detail will probably also kill the model.
Sarah Wise I'm very much interested in this.
