DESCRIPTION:I will shortly introduce the idea of (agent-based) social simu
 lation as a novel research method in the social sciences\, from its origin
 s to the recent developments\, namely the big data approach and the (faile
 d) FuturICT flagship. To illustrate the difference between the agent-based
  approach and the equation-based one\, I will use some example models\, fr
 om the classic Shelling's segregation model to more recent and complex one
 s. While predictability of societal changes and the so-called "end of hist
 ory" have recently shown to be just illusions\, new opportunity to underst
 and the mix of technical and social matters that shape our current society
  might be at hand\, an opportunity that could be shaped by advances in soc
 ial simulation.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1981/
