Papers from a July 1993 and an April 1992 meeting, plus an additional paper, explore the use of computer simulation in understanding the social sciences, in sections on the simulation of social theories, the evolution and emergence of societies, and the foundations of social simulation. Computer simulation has yielded models for division of labor and social coordination, kinship structures, and the evolution of cities. Other topics include artificial ant societies, and kin- directed altruism in an evolving population of neural networks. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
