Summary
Basically I am interested in far too many things for my own good.
Currently this includes: the social aspects of informal value exchange;
simulating the social processes of science; bridging the
qualitative-quantitative worlds; the social complexity of immigration and
diversity; social and socially-situated intelligence; measures and
characterisations of complexity; evolutionary processes; nature and
application of context in cognitive and AI domains; social simulation;
philosophy of science (particularly modelling); and the application of
social processes/structures to computational systems.
I have tried to categorise these below. For a more traditional list
see my publications
(many of which have on-line versions).
