Group - Organization Modeling. OrgViz™ Complexity Modeling Service Announced Santa Fe, New Mexico, September 18, 2002 - RedfishGroup ( is pleased to announce its collaboration with prominent ethnographer, Dr. Michael Agar, author of Professional Stranger and Language Shock. The collaboration will take the form of a joint service offering called OrgViz™. The OrgViz™ Approach Good models, agent-based or any other kind, have to be anchored in reality. The more anchored they are, the more “natural” they feel, and the more easily they let you talk about both the model and the real situation at the same time. OrgViz features an important first step in the modeling process to achieve this natural fit. Fieldwork yields folk-models, a term of art in cognitive science and anthropology.
Fieldwork builds on intensive work with a few cases. Finally, the agent-based model is translated into an accessible visual form, a process we call visualization. The Process To request a demonstration of OrgViz™, contact us: SIMSOC List at JISCMAIL. Centre for Research in Social Simulation - CRESS. The Centre for Research in Social Simulation (CRESS), based in the Department of Sociology in the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences at the University of Surrey, is a multidisciplinary centre bringing together the social sciences, software engineering and agent-based computing to promote and support the use of social simulation in research in the human sciences. There is growing interest in using computer simulation to explore issues in the social sciences.
Simulation is a novel research method in most parts of the social sciences, including sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, geography, archaeology and linguistics. It can also be the inspiration for new, process-oriented theories of society.
