Research Lines. Dynamics and collective phenomena of social systems
Dynamics and collective phenomena of social systems
Research Lines
Description
Social systems are prominent examples of complex systems. Concepts, tools and models aiming at identifying generic mechanisms underlying collective phenomena in these systems are developed with the use of Game Theory, Statistical Physics, Agent Based Models and Complex Networks Theory. Cooperation, cultural conflicts and problems of social consensus are examples of phenomena under study. New emphasis is on data driven research on socio-technical systems, including the impact of ICT, and in particular online social networks.
