John H. Miller is professor of economics and social sciences at Carnegie Mellon University.
Scott E. Page is professor of complex systems, political science, and economics at the University of Michigan. He is the author of "The Difference" (Princeton).
This book provides the first clear, comprehensive, and accessible account of complex adaptive social systems, by two of the field's leading authorities. Such systems - whether political parties, stock markets, or ant colonies - present some of the most intriguing theoretical and practical challenges confronting the social sciences. Engagingly written, and balancing technical detail with intuitive explanations, "Complex Adaptive Systems" focuses on the key tools and ideas that have emerged in the field since the mid-1990s, as well as the techniques needed to investigate such systems. It provides a detailed introduction to concepts such as emergence, self-organized criticality, automata, networks, diversity, adaptation, and feedback. It also demonstrates how complex adaptive systems can be explored using methods ranging from mathematics to computational models of adaptive agents. John Miller and Scott Page show how to combine ideas from economics, political science, biology, physics, and computer science to illuminate topics in organization, adaptation, decentralization, and robustness. They also demonstrate how the usual extremes used in modeling can be fruitfully transcended.

本書總體上是試圖去闡明仿真和計算方法對於研究復雜社會科學的意義。 本書的寫法是很細節、學術化的,我跳過瞭很多具體描述網絡模型的章節,主要關注瞭作為一種方法論的動力學仿真能給社會科學帶來什麼樣的視角。 工具和方法塑造著研究者的觀點,無論研究者本身願不願意承認。...

評分In addition to the utilities suggested by the title that the book is an introduction to the computational models of social complex adaptive system, this is a good book to learn about the new development in formalism in adaptive system, or more broadly nonli...
評分下麵是我對這本書的粗淺理解和感想,供同好參考: 一、 對於復雜適應社會,已有的模型中的各個主體要麼是無知,要麼是先知,而復雜係統卻介於這兩個極端之間,因此本書的角度是任意數量的異質性個體在一個時空受限的動態環境中相互作用。 二、 本書最關鍵的結論是:復雜係統的...
評分《復雜適應係統(社會生活計算模型導論)》是首部全麵、清晰且令人易於理解地闡述復雜適應社會係統的著作,由該領域兩位權威學者聯袂完成。復雜適應社會係統——不論是“政治黨派”、“股票市場”,還是螞蟻群落——都體現瞭社會科學在理論上與實踐上所麵臨的一些最有趣的挑戰。...
