- What can computer simulation contribute to the social sciences?
- Which of the many approaches to simulation would be best for my social science project?
- How do I design, carry out and analyse the results from a computer simulation?
This authoritative book details all the common approaches to social simulation, to provide social scientists with an appreciation of the literature and allow those with some programming skills to create their own simulations.
New for this edition:
- A new chapter on designing multi-agent systems, to support the fact that multi-agent modelling has become the most common approach to simulation
- New examples and guides to current software
- Updated throughout to take new approaches into account
