Preface
This book is the product of a workshop on Modelling Organisational Behaviour and Social Agency, hosted by Bournemouth University, January 27–28, 2014, and sponsored by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behavior (AISB). The event sought to examine the applications, structure, how-to, potentials, and philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of agent-based models (ABM) as they apply to organizational behavior and social agency. We had one day and a half of paper sessions, with social and networking activities. Participants came from seven countries, including the UK, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Canada, and Italy. The workshop was extremely valuable and all who participated agreed that it delivered more than promised.
