Buchcover - Computational Approaches to Studying the Co-evolution of Networks and Behavior in Social Dilemmas - ISBN 978-1-118-63687-9
"Corten's book provides a very nice example of a theorizing-modelling-empirical testing cycle which can advance sociological investigation. This is a worth-reading book for every scholar who wants to understand the research life cycle in computational sociology. It is methodologically rigorous as well as inspirational and enlightening." (Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 1 May 2014)
Computational Approaches to Studying the Co-evolution of Networks and Behavior in Social Dilemmas
von Rense CortenComputational Approaches to Studying the Co-evolution of Networks and Behaviour in Social Dilemmas shows students, researchers, and professionals how to use computation methods, rather than mathematical analysis, to answer research questions for an easier, more productive method of testing their models. Illustrations of general methodology are provided and explore how computer simulation is used to bridge the gap between formal theoretical models and empirical applications.
