Handbook Of Computational Sociology

The sub-field of sociology that utilizes computationally intensive methods for analyzing and modeling of social phenomena is called computational sociology. It uses the techniques of computer simulations, complex statistical methods, and social network analysis to develop and analyze complex social processes. This discipline includes the understanding of social agents, interaction between these agents and the effect of such interactions on the social aggregate. Computational sociology deals with varied challenges pertaining to the determination of the levels of society and their interactions, culture modeling, design of informative simulations for large scale data, model choice, etc. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on computational sociology have been included in this book. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included herein. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with computational sociology will benefit alike from this book.
