متن کاملInnovators, Imitators, and the Evolving Architecture of Problem-Solving Networks

In this paper, we develop an agent-based computational model of this process, in which the agents in the population are heterogeneous in their abilities to innovate and imitate. The model incorporates three primary forces: the disco...
