Cognition and Multi-Agent Interaction : From Cognitive Modeling to Social Simulation
Ron Sun
This book explores the intersection between cognitive sciences and social sciences. In particular, it explores the intersection between individual cognitive modeling and modeling of multi-agent interaction. The two contributing fields – individual cognitive modeling (especially cognitive architectures) and modeling of multi-agent interaction (including social simulation and, to some extent, multi-agent systems) – have seen phenomenal growth in recent years. However, the interaction of these two fields has not been sufficiently developed. The interaction of the two may be more significant than either alone. They bring with them enormous intellectual capitals. These intellectual capitals can be profitably leveraged in creating true synergy between the two fields, leading to better understanding of both individual cognition and sociocultural processes. It is possible that an integrative field of study in cognitive and social sciences is emerging and we are laying the foundation for it.
■ Explores a heretofore largely unexplored area
■ Chapters are written by leading researchers in various disciplines. They provide provocative new insight into relevant issues and solid research
■ Intended for researchers and students in cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences but it may also be read by interested laymen
