We identify two distinct themes in social science modelling. One, more specific, approach is that of social simulation which addresses how behaviour of many actors can lead to emer...
This paper presents computer simulations which investigate the effect that different group sizes have on the emergence of compositional structures in languages. The simulations are...
Abstract. Artificial selection of microbial ecosystems for their collective function has been shown to be effective in laboratory experiments. In previous work, we used evolutionar...
Often the selfish and strong are believed to be favored by natural selection, even though cooperative interactions thrive at all levels of organization in living systems. Recent em...

Agency detection is studied in a simple simulated model with embodied agents. Psychological experiments such as double TV-monitor experiments and perceptual crossing show the centr...
Multi-agent organizations in dynamic environments, need to have the ability to adapt to environmental changes to ensure a continuation of proper functioning. Such adaptations can b...
We introduce a new variant of the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model that includes the possibility of dynamically forming and breaking strong bonds. The emergent reaction ki...

Abstract. This paper investigates the processes used by an evolved, embodied simulated agent to adapt to large disruptive changes in its sensor morphology, whilst maintaining perfo...
