“…Expectations are incidents of expected behaviors by an agent in spite of a situation, and these expectations guide their actions [3]. Agents in society expect certain types of behavior from the others, and they deal with different types of behavior as expectation deviations [3]. In this proposed model, each person makes its own expectations network, and it is stored in the MICRO COLLECTIVE REPRESENTATION MODULE (Sec.…”

The panic in crowds phenomenon is studied by different approaches. Multi-Agent System (MAS) simulations can be an excellent tool for understanding and analyzing some real-life panic situations, such as fires and earthquakes. This paper proposes a conceptual model that follows a social-cognitive approach for this kind of phenomenon. By this approach, new structures and variations for collective panic situations can be proposed. Also, this sort of research could bring a better understanding of the principles of the social and psychological fields related to panic in crowds behavior.978-1-4244-4457-1/09/$25.00 ©2009 IEEE

“…Despite the compliance of the Social Systems with the complexity and systemic approach, the high level of Luhmann's abstraction makes the proposition of a generic formal model a very challenge task. In general, the models based on Luhmann's theory focus on specific aspects of the theory as observed in [3,10,12,13,15,21,38].…”

“…The model has been based on an existing experience [38] and is focused on the implementation of the mechanisms of perturbation/dissipation between the social subsystem and psychic system, and the translation into computational language of the Luhmann's societal power and communication process based on three selections (information, utterance and meaning). This paper is organized as follows.…”

The computational modeling and simulation of social phenomena based on social theory as a theoretical framework is a challenging endeavor. Mainly, due to the difficulties to translate abstract conceptualizations of the social sciences into formal languages. The main goal of this paper is the translation of some Luhmann's concepts such as perturbation, dissipation, social communication and power, into a model using a spatial social subsystem as a metaphor, to make more concrete these very abstract concepts. The model has been used to improve the social theory understanding and to evaluate the effect of different parameterization in the global stabilization and authorities' distribution. It has been designed to comply with the Luhmann's social theory, and to be scalable and simple to understand. The experiment implemented one instantiation of the proposed model and showed how it can be used to evaluate a micro-macro interaction based on a simple mechanism of Luhmannian social communication.

In order to provide valuable information for the assessment of the Territorial Plan for Sustainable Rural Development of the Ministry of Agrarian Development this work aimed at the use of principal component analysis, cluster analysis by the agglomerative hierarchical method and the Self Organizing Map artificial neural network in the exploratory analysis of the results of computer simulations of the social socioterritorial system "Southern Rural Territory of Sergipe". The methodology has been based in the Sociology of Organized Action and Soclab framework. Statistical analyses showed that this socio-territorial system has a simple and deterministic structure, so, presents a cooperative social game with a strong tendency to reach a steady state even in situations of conflicting interests. The neural analysis allowed the characterization of atypical situations when the stability of the social system occurs.
