Toward a Paradigm shift in social computing: The ACP approach

ACP approach is a new science for social studies of integrated cyber and physical worlds involving artificial societies for modeling, computational experiments for analysis, and parallel execution for control. Modeling with artificial societies has three main parts such as agents, environments, and rules for interactions. A model society represented by an artificial system is considered real and recognize intrinsic limits and constraints when dealing with complex systems. Modeling of artificial societies design and conduct controllable experiments that are easy to manipulate and repeat and evaluate and analyze factors in social-computing problems. Control through parallel execution involves three modes such as learning and training, experimenting and evaluating, and controlling and managing.
