Representing People

Contact: Andrew Bell (andybell@umich.edu)

I’d like to get a group together to discuss model representations of social systems – what are the different approaches we can take, and what is the scope of the knowledge we can get out of them (and how should it be used).

I would be interested. Dan N.

Me too. Saleha Habibullah

I'm also interested. I've added a separate discussion point [1] this morning, but maybe we should merge the two? Kai

There are a number of approaches to modeling social systems that I'd like to become more familiar with--game theory, evolutionary game theory, agent-based models, ???. Would anyone with some experience applying any of these tools be willing to give a tutorial, perhaps give a glimpse at the specific ways in which they've put them to use? Paul H.

I would be interested. Rhonda BeLue
