A discussion paper for the PaCE project on the question of when people decide actions no the basis of beliefs and when they determine their beliefs on the basis of their action (or desired action). Part of understanding why some Populist narratives work.
A paper by Bruce Edmonds and Lia ní Aodha, based on the invited talk give at MABS 2018 (a version of which is to be published in the MABS 2018 collection). It looks at the potential dangers of mixing complex modelling and policy, and suggests a positive way forward. Very relevant to the debates about COVID19 and modelling happening at the moment.
This is the introductory article to this special issue, which will be published as a collection in the future. For now, it is just online first. https://doi.org/10.1177%2F0894439318824316
An individual-based simulation where species co-evolve on a 2D grid, that can generate, in a bottom-up manner, complex ecosystems of individuals. Designed to assess the long-term complex dynamics that might occur in interaction with humans.
This is a report by David Hales on the workshop, held at the Manchester Metropolitan University, June 7th – June 8th 2017. More about the workshop is at http://www.davidhales.com/ethnosim2017
By Bruce Edmonds and Lia ní Aodha. Critiques the “Engineering” paradigm for policy development, in particular the prospects for prediction. Suggests an alternative approach – Reflexive Possibilistic Modelling, which (along side participatory and open political approaches) could be a more productive direction. Goes with an oral presentation to MABS 2018 and ICES 2018.

Shaheen Syed, a member of the CfPM, has just published a paper in the journal “Fish and Fisheries” a top journal in fishery science. The paper is called “Narrow lenses for capturing the complexity of fisheries: A topic analysis of fisheries science from 1990 to 2016”. See https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/faf.12280
Paper presented at the Social Simulation Conference (SSC 2017), in Dublin, September 25-29, 2017.
Queue is a new extension for NetLogo offered by the CPM. It introduces a new data type to NetLogo: a queue (with statistics).
A draft of a chapter that discusses some different purposes for a simulation model and the consequences of this in terms of its development, checking and justification.
A discussion paper by Bruce Edmonds
An abstract agent-based model where beliefs and social network co-evolve is applied to understanding the kind of processes that might have been at work during the Brexit vote.

Paper presented at the Social Simulation Conference (SSC 2016), in Rome, September 19-23, 2016.
Reviews and discusses the modelling of cognition in social simulation with respect to its context-dependency, then proposes a principled way, using cognitive con-text, of integrating machine learning and reasoning processes into a single cognitive model suitable for use in social simulation.
A paper looking at the consequences of complexity in the real world together with some meaningful ways of understanding and managing such situations.
This motivates and discusses the process of making a simulation model available for others to freely inspect and use.
Bootstrapping a Semantic Lexicon on Verb Similarities by Shaheen Syed, Marco Spruit and Melania Borit @ IC3K 2016
Magnus Josefsson has come second in the EDAMBA (European Doctoral Association) thesis competition for his work ‘Social Foundations of Sense Making: Four Case Studies’.
This is a paper that describes the “staged modelling approach” developed during the “SCID” Project (The Social Complexity of Immigration and Diversity). This starts with a complex, evidence-led model and then progressively models that with simpler models to get a combination of rigour and relevance.
Factbase is a new extension for NetLogo offered for beta-testing by the CPM. It introduces a new data type: a structured set of data called a “fact base”, that will be particularly useful for those who want to program more cognitive models in their social simulations.
