Book Description:
|
Norms spread across cultures and centuries. Nonetheless, a unifying treatment is missing and the dynamics of norms is insufficiently understood. This volume presents an unprecedented attempt to illustrate via agent based simulation the emergence of norms meant as prescribed conducts applied by the majority. The simulated scenarios are populated with cognitive agents generating norms by detecting and deciding to respect them.
