I now have a personal
academic blog for updates, news, thoughts etc.
Summary
Basically I am interested in far too many things for my own good.
Currently this includes: the social aspects of informal value exchange;
simulating the social processes of science; bridging the
qualitative-quantitative worlds; the social complexity of immigration
and diversity; social and socially-situated intelligence;
measures and
characterisations of complexity; evolutionary processes; nature and
application of context in cognitive and AI domains; social simulation;
philosophy of science (particularly modelling); and the application of
social processes/structures to computational systems.
I have tried to categorise these below. For a more
traditional list see my publications
(many of
which have on-line versions).
