ProtestLab: A Computational Laboratory for Studying Street Protests

Lemos, Carlos M.; Coelho, Helder; Lopes, Rui J.

Pages: 3 –29

[We present an Agent-Based model called ProtestLab for the simulation of street protests, with multiple types of agents (protesters, police and ‘media’) and scenario features (attraction points, obstacles and entrances/exits). In ProtestLab agents can have multiple “personalities” (implemented...

A Generic Agent-Based Model of Historical Social Behaviors Change

M’hamdi, Ahmed; Nemiche, Mohamed; Pla Lopez, Rafael; Ezzahra SFA, Fatima; Sidati, Khabid; Baz, Omar

Pages: 31 –49

[The primary theme of this chapter is trying to describe, discuss and understand how human societies change over time using agent-based modeling. Agents become a major paradigm of social simulation allow us to model the complex social phenomena under the bottom-up approach. Certainly one of the...

Understanding Social Systems Research

Klein, Louis

Pages: 51 –67

[Social complexity seems to be the number one critical success factor not only for project management or organisational development but for any attempt to govern the Anthropocene and bring about successful systemic change to meet climate change, poverty and political conflict to name but a few.]

ForestSim: An Agent-Based Simulation for Bioenergy Sustainability Assessment

Rouleau, Mark

Pages: 69 –87

[Global development must become more sustainable. To do so, society must adopt a sustainable energy alternative to fossil fuels (Dincer 2000). Second-generation bioenergy from woody biomass (trees and other woody plants) offers a promising alternative that can avoid both the inevitable finite...

Toward a Complex Concept of Sustainability

Mariotti, Humberto

Pages: 89 –123

[ The purpose of this chapter is to present some contributions to a complex concept of sustainability. One of the most important is the idea of adding human nature to its variables, since this addition also includes the uncertainty (and hence the complexity) which inherent in all living beings....

Effects of Policy Decision-Making on Riparian Corridors in a Semi-arid Desert: A Modeling Approach

Pope, Aloah; Gimblett, Randy

Pages: 125 –141

[The resilience of ecologically significant landscapes is often hindered by traditional approaches to natural resource management, which treat ecologic, hydrologic, and social systems as distinct entities. Although acknowledging interdependencies is a great first step in managing complex systems,...

Dialectical Systems Theory as a Way to Handle Complex Systems

Mulej, Matjaz; Ženko, Zdenka; Mulej, Nastja

Pages: 145 –158

[Complexity includes attributes of entanglement that result from relations and processes. It can be found in nature, society, organizations and technology. Humans specialize in their education, knowledge and experience. This makes specialists one-sided and thus hardly able to handle the given...

Reducing Complexity of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems

Nagy-Kiss, Anca Maria; Schutz, Georges; Marx, Benoît; Mourot, Gilles; Ragot, José

Pages: 159 –187

[The complexity problem of nonlinear dynamic systems appears in a great number of scientific and engineering fields. The multi-model, also known as polytopic approach, constitutes an interesting tool for modeling dynamic nonlinear systems, in the framework of stability analysis and...

A Few Reflections on the Quality of Emergence in Complex Collective Systems

De Florio, Vincenzo

Pages: 189 –202

[A number of elements towards a classification of the quality of emergence in emergent collective systems are provided. By using those elements, several classes of emergent systems are exemplified, ranging from simple aggregations of simple parts up to complex organizations of complex collective...

Link Structure Analysis of Urban Street Networks for Delineating Traffic Impact Areas

Wen, Tzai-Hung; Chin, Wei-Chien-Benny; Lai, Pei-Chun

Pages: 203 –220

[With the growing number of developing large-scale cities, traffic congestion has becomes a global issue. Traffic congestion could be attributed to topological structure of street network and traffic flow concentration. It is necessary to investigate these two factors simultaneously to solve...
