Abstract.
The purpose of this White Paper of the EU Support Action “Visioneer” (see www.visioneer.ethz.ch) is to address the following goals:
-
1.
Develop strategies to build up social simulation capacities.
-
2.
Suggest ways to build up an “artificial societies” community that aims at simulating real and alternative societies by means of supercomputers, grid or cloud computing.
-
3.
Derive proposals to establish centers for integrative systems design.
