Zusatztext "The structure of the book is excellent and gives a framework for organizing ideas in this complex area. Hopefully books like this will by a catalyst for more work in the area and a further maturation of the models and what we can use them for." — Rudolph Darken, Naval Postgraduate School, USA "I think this book will impact current and future work in the areas that form the intersection of applied social science, computer science, and sociocultural methods. It provides an integrated stance on very complex social and computational issues while retaining a sense for practical application. The book offers a nice blend of theoretical, methodological, and application-focused chapters that will aid a reader in learning about sociocultural topics and applying cutting-edge methods to the real-world issues. The editors have successfully compiled a diverse set of experts to explore very challenging issues that have very real implications for the military, and more broadly, the global business and social domains." — Joseph B. Lyons, Air Force Research Laboratory, USA Informationen zum Autor Joseph V. Cohn, PhD, earned his BS in biology from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign in 1993.
