Modelling of social Influence with DEVS and CELL DEVS formalism
Authors: Youssef Bouanan, Gregory Zacharewicz, Bruno Vallespir
Abstract
The reactions of populations to the dissemination and propagation of information are, up to now, not modeled appropriately. There is however an interest in the ability to simulate and accurately measure the impact of information on population. The SICOMORES project objective is to provide solutions to artificially generate structured social networks of realistic population and simulate the effects of information on population, with a propagation algorithm of the effects across networks. The intention is to go further than current models which generally reduce the individuals of a population as simple obstacles or information transmitters without enough nuances in their behaviour and the influence they can have on a message. . In this article, we recall first the use of discrete modelling approaches in the social influence. Then we present models for human information treatment and propagation using DEVS and Cell-DEVS (Cellular DEVS). Finally, we present a simulation of the impact of information on individuals using CD++, a simulation tool for DEVS and Cell-DEVS.
