Although, for an engineer, this book may be more accessible because it builds stuff as it goes in
@netlogo, like any@timoreilly book would, which is neat. (Haven't read it; but he's the author of NetLogo, too) https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Agent-Based-Modeling-Natural-Engineered/dp/0262731894/ref=pd_sbs_14_2/140-4567843-7709005?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0262731894&pd_rd_r=cc888877-9482-11e9-b0ea-7bcf8230b9e5&pd_rd_w=GIGQ8&pd_rd_wg=Ff0yu&pf_rd_p=588939de-d3f8-42f1-a3d8-d556eae5797d&pf_rd_r=0CY46987TWE8K5DJ12KP&psc=1&refRID=0CY46987TWE8K5DJ12KP …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

The TOC on the first text is very interesting. By comparison the wiki page is currently very sparse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_social_science …

Yea. TBH the field tries to be too many things and has just turned into a catch all for, "builds computer models of people with computers."

Are learning agents common in CSS? Like reinforcement learning agents?

They're starting to be and I think that's the direction we're heading. There are cognitively rich models like ACT-R/SOAR used in mult-agent simulations. But they're really heavy.
