Simulating the Social Processes of Science
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the proposal the organisers considered that it would be a success if during the week: (a) new simulations are started (b) existing simulations are improved, based on the discussion (c) links between existing models and simulations are identified to design a fabric of simulation models (d) new collaborations are initiated across disciplinary boundaries (e) participants are stimulated to do further research into the topic. All of these were achieved during the course of the week.

Two Challenges in Simulating the Social Processes of Science
This note discusses two challenges to simulating the social process of science. The first is developing an adequately rich representation of the underlying Data Generation Process which scientific progress can "learn". The second is how to get effective data on what, in broad terms, the properties of the "future" are. Paradoxically, with due care, we may learn a lot about the future by studying...
متن کاملA Brief Survey of Some Relevant Philosophy of Science
This briefly reviews some philosophy of science that might be relevant to simulating the social processes of science. It also includes a couple of examples from the sociology of science because these are inextricable from the philosophy.
متن کاملSimulation and prediction of scour whole dimensions downstream of siphon overflow using support vector machine and Gene expression programming algorithms
Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study is to simulate and predict the dimensions of the scour cavity downstream of the siphon overflow using the SVM model and compare it with other numerical methods. The use of the SVM algorithm as a meta-heuristic system in simulating complex processes in which the dependent variable is a function of several independent variables has been widely ...
متن کاملAdditional Insights Into Problem Definition and Positioning From Social Science; Comment on “Four Challenges That Global Health Networks Face”
Commenting on a recent editorial in this journal which presented four challenges global health networks will have to tackle to be effective, this essay discusses why this type of analysis is important for global health scholars and practitioners, and why it is worth understanding and critically engaging with the complexities behind these challenges. Focusing on the topics of problem definition ...
متن کاملUsing Social Simulation to Explore the Dynamics at Stake in Participatory Research
This position paper contributes to the debate on perspectives for simulating the social processes of science through the specific angle of participatory research. This new way of producing science is still in its infancy and needs some step back and analysis, to understand what is taking place on the boundaries between academic, policy and lay worlds. We argue that social simulation of this pra...
متن کاملSimulation of the catchments hydrological processes in arid, semi-arid and semi-humid areas
Hydrological processes and their spatial distribution directly are relevant to climate, topography, geology, and land use in the watershed. Therefore, use of a model whit integrity and high performance for simulating the process in deferent watersheds is very important. In this study was assessment performance of semi-distributed SWAT model in simulating hydrology processes in three watersheds ...
