How can we foster and grow artificial societies so as to cause social properties to emerge that are logical, consistent with real societies, and are expected by design- ers？ We propose a framework for fostering artificial soci- eties using social learning mechanisms and social control ap- proaches. We present the application of fostering artificial so- cieties in parallel emergency management systems. Then we discuss social learning mechanisms in artificial societies, in- cluding observational learning, reinforcement learning, imi- tation learning, and advice-based learning. Furthermore, we discuss social control approaches, including social norms, social policies, social reputations, social commitments, and sanctions.

Mathematical and computational approaches are important tools for understanding epidemic spread patterns and evaluating policies of disease control. In recent years, epidemiology has become increasingly integrated with mathematics, sociology, management science, complexity science, and computer science. The cross of multiple disciplines has caused rapid development of mathematical and computational approaches to epidemic modeling. In this article, we carry out a comprehensive review of epidemic models to provide an insight into the literature of epidemic modeling and *** introduce major epidemic models in three directions, including mathematical models, complex network models, and agent-based models. We discuss the principles, applications, advantages, and limitations of these models. Meanwhile, we also propose some future research directions in epidemic modeling.

The field of social computing emerged more than ten years ago. During the last decade, researchers from a vari- ety of disciplines have been closely collaborating to boost the growth of social computing research. This paper aims at iden- tifying key researchers and institutions, and examining the collaboration patterns in the field. We employ co-authorship network analysis at different levels to study the bibliographic information of 6 543 publications in social computing from 1998 to 2011. This paper gives a snapshot of the current re- search in social computing and can provide an initial guid- ance to new researchers in social computing.
We use agent-based simulations to study emergency evacuation in buildings, and design the interior layout of buildings. We build an abstract scene for the first floor of an emporium in Changsha city in China. The scen...
