Networks in Society

“Networks in Society demonstrates the considerable advances made in recent years in understanding society through the application of new methods of network analysis and computational modelling. It takes the reader gently through the technicalities and points out the far-reaching implications of this new approach not only for social science but also for business and managing the environment in a more sustainable way.”

~Prof. Nigel Gilbert, University of Surrey, UK

“This book elegantly synthesizes several disciplines, including cognitive science, linguistics, social networks, and agent-based modelling, by producing a landmark work in the highly interdisciplinary emerging field of complex science. It is well written, balancing motivation and examples with technical detail.”

~Prof. Akira Namatame, National Defense Academy, Japan

“Stocker and Bossomaier chose ‘Links and Language’ as a thought-provoking and unique perspective to bring this volume together. If social ties are the basis for social networks, communication and language are the fundamental enablers for establishing social ties.”

~Prof. Hussein Abbass, University of New South Wales, Australia
