We follow Peter Blau, Miller McPherson, Lynn Smith-Lovin, Duncan Watts and many others in positing that human behavior is best understood in terms of the complex social systems within which actions are taken, and that the representation of these social systems must make evident the endogenous structural constraints on opportunities for interpersonal contact and group affiliation. We further demonstrate that the ability to seed social simulations with representative social data about the society being modeled (e.g. from social surveys), and the use of social networks generated using principles of homophily from empirical social science, provide a compelling and actionable framework for both interpreting with and theory building from whole society simulations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549711404918","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,2]],"date-time":"2011-09-02T20:49:54Z","timestamp":1314996594000},"page":"557-564","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Extensible software for whole of society modeling: framework and preliminary results"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Stephen","family":"Lieberman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Modeling, Virtual Environments, and Simulation (MOVES) Institute, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0037549711404918","volume-title":"Crosscutting Social Circles: Testing a Macrostructural Theory of Intergroup Relations","author":"Blau PM","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr2-0037549711404918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/599247"},{"key":"bibr3-0037549711404918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4419-9188-1_12"},{"key":"bibr4-0037549711404918","volume-title":"Human Communication as Narration: Toward a Philosophy of Reason, Value, and Action","author":"Fisher W","year":"1987"},{"key":"bibr5-0037549711404918","volume-title":"Verification, Validation, and Accreditation of Army Models and Simulations","author":"US Army","year":"1999"},{"key":"bibr6-0037549711404918","volume-title":"Structural Context of Opportunities","author":"Blau PM","year":"1994"},{"key":"bibr7-0037549711404918","volume-title":"Behavioral Modeling and Simulation: From Individuals to Societies","author":"National Research Council","year":"2008"},{"key":"bibr8-0037549711404918","volume-title":"General Social Surveys","author":"Davis JA","year":"1972"},{"key":"bibr9-0037549711404918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-9713.2006.00185.x"},{"key":"bibr10-0037549711404918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-74913-4_57"},{"key":"bibr11-0037549711404918","volume-title":"Average Distance, Diameter, and Clustering in Social Networks with Homophily.
