Gossip, Sexual Recombination and the El Farol Bar: Modelling the Emergence of Heterogeneity

Edmonds, Bruce - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 2 (1999) 3, pp. 2-2

An investigation into the conditions conducive to the emergence of heterogeneity amoung agents is presented. This is done by using a model of creative artificial agents to investigate some of the possibilities. The simulation is based on Brian Arthurs `El Farol Bar model but extended so that the...

Co-Operative Punishment Cements Social Cohesion

Jaffe, Klaus; Zaballa, Luis - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 13 (2010) 3, pp. 4-4

Most current attempts to explain the evolution - through individual selection - of pro-social behavior (i.e. behavior … benefits are, and it will be favoured by evolution as long as the benefits exceed the costs. We show with computer simulations …

Just How (Un)realistic Are Evolutionary Algorithms As Representations of Social Processes?

Chattoe-Brown, Edmund - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 1 (1998) 3, pp. 2-2

implications of the Neo-Darwinian Synthesis for processes of social evolution and then discusses the extent to which evolutionary … algorithms capture the aspects of biological evolution which are relevant to social processes. The paper uses several recent …. The key aspects of evolution discussed in the paper are that it is dependent on relative rather than absolute fitness, it …

Local Opinion Heterogeneity and Individual Participation in Collective Behavior: A Reconsideration

Hu, Hai-hua; Lin, Jun; Cui, Wen-tian - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 18 (2015) 2, pp. 6-6

Local opinion heterogeneity (LOH) critically influences an individualâ€™s choice of collective behaviors, such as voting and protesting. However, several empirical studies have presented different conclusions on how LOH affects such preference. In the current research, the effect of LOH is...

Evolving Greenhouses: An Agent-Based Model of Universal Darwinism in Greenhouse Horticulture

Kasmire, J.; Nikolic, Igor; Dijkema, Gerard - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 16 (2013) 4, pp. 7-7

To explore the space between the theories of the Diffusion of Innovations and Universal Darwinism, we first examine a case study of the history of the greenhouse horticulture sector of the Netherlands, comparing and contrasting the narrow focus of Diffusion of Innovations and the wider focus of...

The Competition for Attention and the Evolution of Science

Thorngate, Warren; Liu, Jing; Chowdhury, Wahida - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 14 (2011) 4, pp. 17-17

Whenever the amount of information produced exceeds the amount of attention available to consume it, a competition for attention is born. The competition is increasingly fierce in science where the exponential growth of information has forced its producers, consumers and gatekeepers to become...

Cricketsim: a Genetic and Evolutionary Computer Simulation

Wagner, Kyle; Shaw, Kerry - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 11 (2007) 1, pp. 3-3

We present cricketsim, an individual-based simulator of species and community dynamics that allows experimenters to manipulate genetic and evolutionary parameters as well as parameters affecting the simulated environment and its inhabitants. The simulator can model genotypic and phenotypic...
