The fourth issue of volume 4 of the Journal of Artificial Societies and
Social Simulation (JASSS) was published on October 31st.
JASSS is an electronic, refereed journal devoted to the exploration and
understanding of social processes by means of computer simulation. It
is located at <http://www.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS/>. It is freely
available, with no subscription.
=================
This issue has six refereed articles, two contributions to the Forum
section, and six book reviews and a review essay.
Guido Fioretti presents a model of the structure of the information
flows that underlie the creation of production chains between thousands
of small textile firms located in Prato, central Italy. Henriette
Otter, Anne van der Veen and Huib de Vriend describe a model to help
understand the mechanisms that are at the basis of land use changes and
the formation of land use patterns. Felix Flentge, Daniel Polani and
Thomas Uthmann study the emergence and the effects of a possession norm
in an artificial society. D.W. Pearson and M-R. Boudarel look at how a
social interaction model can be developed that takes into account the
influence of perceived attitudes, using a master equation approach. Rob
Stocker, David G. Green and David Newth examine Dunbar's hypothesis
(that natural group size in apes and humans arises from the transition
from grooming behaviour to language or gossip) and show that
transmission rate and neighbourhood size accompany critical transitions
of the order proposed by Dunbar. Andreas Flache and Rainer Hegselmann
introduce Cellular Automata models based on irregular grids and consider
the effect of using such grids on two standard CA models.
