Social Agents in Dynamic Equilibrium

  • Conference paper
Artificial Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms

Abstract

A simple model for social group interactions is introduced. The model is investigated for the minimal group size for the model N=3. Examples of model of model behaviour in terms of dynamic and static equilibrium are presented. Directions for further study of the model are considered.
