The social sciences are no exception, as they develop in the age of social networks, messengers, digital transactions and other information, thanks to which you can learn as much as possible about the \"digital counterpart\" and build the most accurate models. The paper examines how scientists see the development of science through supercomputer technologies, what challenges the world may face, using data about each individual who got on the Internet.

A feature of this approach is, firstly, a high degree of sectoral disaggregation (e.g., 42 types of economic activity are considered), and secondly, the three-level architecture of the proposed multi-agent system, which includes high-tech and low-tech resources as workplaces differentiated by types of economic activity (branches of the economy), and also multiple agents-individuals: natives and migrants with their own rules of behaviour and characteristics, and agents-sectors that provide the necessary structure of employment. We study the issues of software implementation of such a multi-level system in the AnyLogic, as well as the influence of the most important parameters of the model, in particular, such as the inflow rate of new migrants, dimensionality of forming industry clusters (i.e., a number of workplaces), level of wages by branches of the economy, etc. on the employment structure and the dynamics of gross domestic product, respectively.","PeriodicalId":51498,"journal":{"name":"Jasss-The Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation","volume":"263 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73523054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The features of the digital model of society as one of the versions of post-industrial transit are presented. The urgency of revising the problematic of media representations of ideas in the context of modern world development due to the unprecedented pluralism of tools for the practical implementation of intellectual constructs in the coordinates of social life is substantiated. The article analyzes and identifies tendencies of a qualitatively different sense-formation of the content of ideas through visualization methods and economic technologies rooted in consumer and performance societies. It is proved that in addition to the directly perceived reality, virtual reality and the world of simulacra have formed in the digital world. A high degree of possible distortion of the meanings originally embedded in social ideas during their perception and interpretation by target audiences is noted. The high role of new mass media has been demonstrated, which also allows powerful actors to form discourses and formulate an urgent agenda in national spaces. The possibilities of social networks and blogs in the construction of society and the implementation of ideological transformations are highlighted. The concept of «media representation» is proposed as one of the strategies of powerful actors used for the cognitive-discursive construction of the world. The emphasis is made on the ambivalent role of media representation technologies of ideas in those empirical contexts that are not yet in the «digital» belt of social opinion. In conclusion, generalizations are presented that constitute the theoretical and methodological basis for the subsequent study of media representations of social ideas in the digital age.","PeriodicalId":51498,"journal":{"name":"Jasss-The Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80215749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scientific-philosophical paradigm of artificial societies, based on methodological problems of cognition of real society functioning mechanisms, namely specific agents, exactly assumes studying human behavior in socio-economic environment, that is their different strategies. Strategy as a relatively new science, expects forecasting and strategizing of various kinds of strategizing objects, in fact – various kinds of agents and their activity. Such agent-based approach, based on using intellectual (rational) agents, implies using intelligence as a calculating part (planning) of ability to reach set goals, which is a strategizing in a strategy science. Social sciences, including strategy as a science, gradually become closer to natural sciences both in tools and methodology principles, relying on interdisciplinary of researches and defining necessity of creating artificial societies and virtual worlds as research models of real society and economy. New research terminology and tools that need conceptual elaboration appear. Practical orientation of strategy as a relatively new science is not doubted and is proved by series of historical and economical events. In this case, however, proof of its fundamentality is needed. In a cycle out of two articles, an attempt to substantiate strategy as a fundamental science, defining agents behavior as central units of modeling artificial societies, based on research of its philosophical roots is made, which is a goal of this research.

It is traced how a person of the digital age is able to independently form himself, while it is justified how he loses his subjectivity. It is substantiated that the increase in contradictions is also not eliminated due to the possession of information. The characteristic features of new values and opportunities of the digital age are revealed. The direct dependence of a person and his social success on the development of technical and technological achievements and their possession is determined, and the influence of the mass media is also taken into account. The forms of human segregation and the trajectory of dehumanization are outlined.

Developed countries generally face an uncontrolled influx of migrants, and in less developed countries, the outflow of the local population leads to a sharp deterioration in the socio-economic situation. There are several types of migration, all of which are closely related to many factors – the most obvious are: military conflicts, poverty, social inequality, dictatorial regime, overpopulation. From 2015 on, this problem in the EU countries has become threatening. The destabilization of the situation and the confrontation of the warring parties in the Middle East led to a massive outflow of the local population to the EU countries with the most favorable social conditions and maximum support for migrants. The choice of migrants fell mainly on Germany, Austria, Sweden, Italy. These processes have become difficult to control. To improve the situation, it is necessary to develop new mechanisms for regulating and stabilizing migration processes, otherwise, uncontrolled migration might lead to even greater shocks in the socio-economic system of the European Union and the formation of more complex crises. In the context of global digitalization, software analytical tools could become an auxiliary means for studying, analyzing and forecasting migration processes. This article provides a statistical analysis of the main indicators of migration to European countries, formulates the reasons for its occurrence, and considers examples of simulation models created to study various aspects related to population movements.","PeriodicalId":51498,"journal":{"name":"Jasss-The Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88199421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
