Computational Models of Human Organization Dynamics

Abstract

We describe a prototype environment for computational modeling of social systems, ACCORD. We also present the theoretical foundation, Generative Practice Theory, and the methodology we have developed, Practice Mapping, to acquire the necessary information about the social system (e.g., an organization), develop its computational realization, validate the models via formal experimentation, and develop implications of the models. We have tested our research in several crisis response domains.
