Abstract

Agent Scheduling in Opinion Dynamics: A Taxonomy and Comparison Using Generalized Models

Highlights

  • For synchronous schedules, source and target primary actors result in identical models; only target primary actors were simulated, the results show them in both positions for ease of comparison

  • For synchronous schedules, source and target primary actors result in identical models; only target primary actors were simulated, the results shown in Figure show them in both positions for ease of comparison

  • The SAS taxonomy represents a step toward creating a common language with which opinion dynamics researchers can compare models and discuss the social assumptions inherent to those schedules

Summary

Introduction

The field of opinion dynamics (OD) seeks to model the mechanisms by which opinions spread through a population Within this context, opinions may be loosely defined as Axelrod ( ) defined culture: they are any attributes that may be altered by social influence. Modelers can define the rules of interaction between individual agents within the model and allow social influence to propagate throughout the system This allows a modeler to build complex models from relatively simple rules that are based upon theories in the psychological and sociological literature. If these outputs are realistic, the modeler has proven that the proposed rules are su icient to generate realistic emergent behavior.
