Abstract

This project investigates to what extent an agent framework centered around the concept of social practices can provide realistic agent-based simulations. The concept of social practices stems from sociology and depicts our 'doings and saying', such as dining, commuting and greeting, in an elegant way. We investigate if a computational version of social practices allows agents to closer resemble (empirical data on) humans in social settings.
