This project proposes a virtual laboratory for social scientists interested in the modelling, analysis and behavioral simulation of power relationships within organizations and more generally in systems of collective action.
This software is grounded on the works lead by Sibertin-Blanc and Roggero on the formalization of the Sociology of Organised Action [Crozier and Freidberg].
The Virtual Commons (http://commons.asu.edu) is an open software initiative devoted to computational experiments on collective action and resource governance and funded by Arizona State University's Center for Behavior, Institutions, and the Environment (http://cbie.asu.edu).
NOTE: we've moved our development to GitHub at https://github.com/virtualcommons - please look for the latest versions there.
