Canonical Task Environments for Social
Simulation
CPM Report No.: 98-49
By:Scott Moss
Date: December 1998
Abstract
A framework is proposed for situating social simulation models
relative to one another and to abstract and applications domains.
The framework is a digit-string representation of the
environment and agents' actions. Three organizational models
are used to develop and test this framework which is termed a
canonical task environment since a variety of specific task
environments map direclty into it. It is suggested that such
canonical task environments provide a suitable alternative to an
overarching theory for the social simulation community.
