AMPLE description:
-------------------------
Socio-technical systems are complex adaptive entities that require the
engagement of social and technical elements in an environment to reach
certain goals. One of the major tools for understanding socio-technical
systems is agent-based modeling. AMPLE aims at bringing together the
topics of agent and artificial society research on the one hand, with
policy making, institutional analysis and the tools being used on the
other, in order to discuss mutual effect of models on societies and vice
versa.
