Opinion Dynamics and Social Influence

This article reports the content of the talks that constituted a three days conference on agent-based modelling (or ABM), held at Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany, from 23 to 25 June 2016 (Agent Cultures and Zombielands, 2016). Participants came from several disciplines, such as philosophy, sociology, history, politology, epidemiology, and other areas where ABM are employed. Despite the disciplinary and opinion differences, the dialogue between attendants was always respectful and fruitful. ABM genealogy, epistemology, applications and socio-political implications were discussed. Nonetheless, some more ethnographical accounts were missing, especially on the effects of collaborations – that already exist – between ABM modellers and public or private organisms.
