An agent can be anything from sta tes to socio-cultural structures, to the environme nt.

\n The Society for the Study of Articial Intelli gence and the Simulation of\n Behaviour (AI SB) is organizing a Workshop on Modelling Organisa tional Behaviour and Social Agency.\n The e vent is hosted by Bournemouth University.\n < /p>\n

Agent-based models (ABMs) allow to o bserve the complexity of\n a system's interac tions in the making. This is of interest for\n the social sciences because of a presumed ontolo gical\n correspondence of agents with the ato ms of social life. An agent\n can be anything from states to socio-cultural structures, to the\ n environment. This methodological vagueness can be the\n scrutinised with the theoretical question of what is the basic\n unit for the analysis of social systems in-between culture,\n organisation, interactions, and the body. Thi s is of particular\n relevance for the analys is of organisations, and hence we would\n lik e to bring together a group of people that is inte rested in\n any aspect of ABM of social agent s in organisations.\n
