In particular we have a closer look on the aspect of teaching risk management and identify how different aspects of risk are addressed in a variety of implementations of Virtual Worlds, namely Second Life, a Virtual World prov...

Small and Other Worlds: Global network structures from local processes

Using a simulation approach based on the Metropolis algorithm, we contrast broad global features of network structure – in particular, small world properties – with the local patterning that could generate the network. It is not difficult to infer local structures emerging from certain simple social processes but, as these localized patterns agglomerate, the global outcomes are often not appare...
