Preferred term

multi-agent modeling  

Definition

  • This entry explains the importance and application of multi-agent modeling in social explanation and contrasts it with the kindred but distinct field of cognitive architectures. It also draws a parallel with the traditional sociological approaches, like those of Max Weber or Alfred Schütz, which can be further illuminated by these recent methods of computerized social simulation.
