Re: Considering a new project & wanting something for nothing

Here is the original citation:

The Convergence and Stability of Cultures.
  Axelrod, Robert.
  SFI Working Paper 95-03-028.

I don't know where that was published in a journal.
Here is a related paper on a project to embed
axelrod's model in a SugarScape based system:

Aligning Simulation Models: A Case Study and Results
  Axtell, Robert, Axelrod, Robert, Epstein, Joshua, and Cohen, Michael.
  SFI Working Paper 95-07-065.

That was also published in The Journal of Computational and Mathematical
Organization Theory.
Here is a cite to some related (vaguely) work:

Modeling Social Change with Cellular Automata.
   Nowak, Andrzej and Lewenstein, Maciej.  (1996)
   Pp 249-285 in Modeling and Simulation in the Social Sciences
   from a Philosophical Point of View.
   Hegselmann etal., eds.  Kluwer, Boston.

Nowak etal have a bunch of papers describing that
line of work.  See

for a few more citations.

                  ==================================
   Swarm-Modelling is for discussion of Simulation and Modelling techniques
   esp. using Swarm.  For list administration needs (esp. [un]subscribing),
