This project proposes a virtual laboratory for social scientists interested in the modelling, analysis and behavioral simulation of power relationships within organizations and more generally in systems of collective action. This software is grounded on the works lead by Sibertin-Blanc and Roggero on the formalization of the Sociology of Organised Action [Crozier and Freidberg].

For the purpose of policy simulation in coupled social-ecological systems (e.g. energy supply), a credible modelling of actors – especially citizens – and their decision processes is needed. This requires a framework capable of handling high numbers of heterogeneous agents (several hundreds of thousands). LARA (Lightweight Architecture for boundedly Rational Agents) meets these requirements and fills the gap between frameworks without built-in psychological foundations and full-fledged cognitive architectures which are both not viable options in this context. LARA provides prefabricated components of an agent’s decision process like perception, memory, and different modes of decision making. ...

A framework for transferring implicit or tacit knowledge between members of a community. It works by observing the behavior of community members, and providing them with suggestions from other community members based on their past behavior.

This project investigates emerging agent societies undergoing evolutionary, individual, and social learning. The project involves an agent modeling environment, monitoring mechanisms, simulation engine and a distributed p2p platform. All this in Java.
