We show how agents with argumentative reasoning abilities can be effectively used to run social simulation experiments with NetArg. NetArg agents interact by exchanging arguments in support or against other arguments or opinions, and adapt to new knowledge. By running simulation experiments, we can replicate a robust result in social simulation, namely that small-world network topologies are able to foster information diffusion and cohesion among a population.

Abstract
We show how agents with argumentative reasoning abilities can be effectively used to run social simulation experiments with NetArg. NetArg agents interact by exchanging arguments in support or against other arguments or opinions, and adapt to new knowledge. By running simulation experiments, we can replicate a robust result in social simulation, namely that small-world network topologies are able to foster information diffusion and cohesion among a population.File in questo prodotto:
