The book contains latest results in modelling the problems from social science domain by advanced computing approaches. Results about business simulation and optimization, knowledge extractions from big data, understanding and predicting the social behaviour, modelling health and environmental changes highlight the potential of underlying modelling and computing methods.
In social science outstanding results are yielded by advanced simulation methods, based on state of the art software technologies and an appropriate combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. This book presents examples of successful applications of modelling and computing in social science: business and logistic process simulation and optimization, deeper knowledge extractions from big data, better understanding and predicting of social behaviour and modelling health and environment changes.
