A simple but more realistic agent-based model of a social network

Lynne Hamill and Nigel Gilbert

Abstract

None of the standard network models fit well with sociological theory. This paper presents a simple agent-based model of social networks that have fat-tailed distributions of connectivity, that are assortative by degree of connectivity, that are highly clustered and that can be used to create a large variety of social worlds.
