The Epistemologies of Social Simulation Research with the debates that have echoed down the years within the wider social science community about the character of social science knowledge and the appropriate epistemological and methodological assumptions on which social science research should rest.

What Does Emergence in Computer Simulations? Simulation between Epistemological and Ontological Emerlogical emergence only. However, there is no conclusive argument that computer simulation in principle is unable to model ontological emergence. Finally, the paper argues for mathematics being a restricted description what concerns all possible emergent levels not yet realised.

Narrative Scenarios, Mediating Formalisms, and the Agent-Based Simulation of Land Use Changelems this raises – which derive from the gulf between the semantics of natural and programming languages. It centers on the use of mediating formalisms: ontologies and specialised formalisms for qualitative representation and reasoning. Examples are derived primarily from ongoing work on the simulation of land use change.

This twofold thesis will be carried out while discussing three main examples of social phenomena: the witness effect, Schelling’s segregation model and the ethnic homogeneity of violence, and the minority game.

Science, Technology and Water Access, sociology and philosophy of science. Considerations from the complexity theory and Philosophy of Science will be utilised to develop a concept of emergence which leads to the notion of an autonomous social sphere. It is demonstrated by two examples that this concept can be applied to Artificial Societies.
