Opis

Throughout history, distinct cultures continuously interact. The main observation that motivated this study is the occurrence of parallel co-adaptive changes within these cultures. These co-adaptive changes are either cooperative or antagonistic in nature. In addition, on the long run, these changes lead to either a domination of one culture over the other(s), or a balanced situation in which all cultures coexist.The main aim of this book is to study and understand this phenomenon from a "Systemic Approach". The contributions of this thesis include: First, formulating a conceptual framework for Cultures Co-evolution System. Second, proposing a computational model to simulate the dynamics underlying Cultures Co-evolution. Third, building a tailored software to experiment with the proposed model.
