Social Simulation (SocialSim)*
Abstract
* Previously Modeling and Forecasting of Social Dynamics (MFSD) The Social Simulation (SocialSim) program will develop a computational capability to simulate the spread and evolution of information in the online environment. The global information environment is radically changing how and at what rate information spreads and evolves, and both nation-state and sub-state actors are incorporating messaging in their operations to great advantage. Existing approaches to understanding online information spread and evolution are largely based on specialized exercises that take considerable time to orchestrate and execute and have limited accuracy. A corresponding computational simulation has the potential to enable a deeper and more quantitative understanding of adversaries' messaging campaigns and their likely outcomes, as well as exploration of potential responses.
