Modelling the Dynamics of Youth Subcultures

Holme, Petter; Grönlund, Andreas - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 8 (2005) 3, pp. 3-3

What are the dynamics behind youth subcultures such as punk, hippie, or hip-hop cultures? How does the global dynamics of these subcultures relate to the individual's search for a personal identity? We propose a simple dynamical model to address these questions and find that only a few...

How Can Social Networks Ever Become Complex? Modelling the Emergence of Complex Networks from Local Social Exchanges

Pujol, Josep M.; Flache, Andreas; Delgado, Jordi; … - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 8 (2005) 4, pp. 12-12

Small-world and power-law network structures have been prominently proposed as models of large networks. However, the assumptions of these models usually lack sociological grounding. We present a computational model grounded in social exchange theory. Agents search attractive exchange partners...

A complex network approach to urban growth

Andersson, Claes; Frenken, Koen; Hellervik, Alexander - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2005

structure and the large size of such systems makes complex networks an attractive model for its analysis. In this paper we … propose the use of complex networks for geographical modeling and demonstrate how such an application can be combined with a … agent-based models. In addition, there exists a large body of theory for the analysis of complex networks that have direct …

About modelling of complex networks with applications to terrorist group modelling

Penzar, Drazen; Srbljinovic, Armano - In: Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems - … 3 (2005) 1, pp. 27-43

Based on available data on various organisations and networks, the article explores some key properties of the structure of a terrorist organisation. Analytical focus is on lower levels of organisational hierarchy, where network structure with exponential distribution of the number of links...

Efficient overlapping community detection in huge real-world networks

Wu, Zhihao; Lin, Youfang; Wan, Huaiyu; Tian, Shengfeng; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 7, pp. 2475-2490

The detection of overlapping community structure in networks can give insight into the structures and functions of many complex systems. In this paper, we propose a simple but efficient overlapping community detection method for very large real-world networks. Taking a high-quality,...
