Simulating Realistic Social and Individual Behavior in Agent SocietiesBy: Kenny Wong and Robin Jha Advisor: Yu Zhang

Why?-Simulations becoming a useful tool for Social

Scientists

-Reproducing human decision making can help

reproduce human behavior

-Simulations would allow scientists to investigate

situations that would be difficult to reproduce or

require humans to be put in dangerous situations

Results

Random Dynamic

Cluster Analysis For Measuring

Social Convention

-used to group objects, persons or concepts into

homogeneous classes on the basis of their

similarities

-Local Clustering Coefficient

-of a vertex in a graph quantifies how close its

neighbors are to being a complete

-Global Clustering Coefficient

-gives an indication of the clustering in the

whole network

Memory-An agents memory is made up of all the

interactions its been in.

-We define the set of memories M by

M=I*.

-I* denotes a string of elements of I.

Future Work

-Use a new metric based on cluster analysis

to predict social convergence in social systems

-Use cluster analysis to predict if the system has

reached a stable state.
