Preface Why Social Sciences Need Nature-inspired Computing
For nearly four billions years, life has invaded Earth. Throughout eras geological upheavals have deeply transformed the environment. Here, deserts left place to a tropical environment; there ices were replaced by conifers forests .... Despite these transformations, life is so vigorous that one can find it on the top of the highest mountains, in the depths of oceans, as well as in clouds or dee...
متن کاملWhy Agents? on the Varied Motivations for Agent Computing in the Social Sciences
The many motivations for employing agent-based computation in the social sciences are reviewed. It is argued that there exist three distinct uses of agent modeling techniques. One such use — the simplest — is conceptually quite close to traditional simulation in operations research. This use arises when equations can be formulated that completely describe a social process, and these equations a...

متن کاملMathematical and Computing Sciences
Scale free graphs have attracted attention by their non-uniform structure that can be used as a model for various social and physical networks. In this paper, we propose two natural and simple random models for generating scale free interval graphs. These models generate a set of intervals randomly, which defines a random interval graph. The main advantage of those models are its simpleness. Th...
