The aim of this course unit may be considered from two perspectives. First of all, this course unit aims to present the area of modelling and simulation as an important resource and indispensable tool in the scientific method to test and validate concepts and theories, which are useful in almost all PhD projects. Subsequently, the presentation and discussion of recent techniques and methods of modelling and simulation should motivate the identification of problems and challenges, making this area an excellent study subject in computer engineering and other application domains.
Additionally, this course is intended to present and study Complex Systems from a behavioural perspective, where macro-level consequences result from micro-level interactions of entities networking in social phenomena such as cooperation, collaboration, competition, diffusion, foraging and complex societies.
