Dinámica y Fenómenos Colectivos en Sistemas Sociales y Sociotécnicos

Los sistemas sociales son un ejemplo prominente de  Sistemas Complejos, fenómenos emergentes y del paradigma micro-macro. Los principales cambios y desafíos sociales actuales surgen del bucle de retroalimentación que entrelaza a la sociedad con las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), dando lugar a un sistema socio-técnico prototípico.

En esta línea de investigación desarrollamos nuevos conceptos, herramientas y modelos con el objetivo de identificar mecanismos genéricos subyacentes a los fenómenos colectivos en sistemas sociales. Lo hacemos en el marco de las Ciencias Sociales Computacionales con el uso de la Teoría de Juegos, Física Estadística, Modelos Basados en Agentes, Teoría de Redes Complejas y Análisis de Big Data. Estudiamos fenómenos tales como la formación de opiniones, la cooperación, los conflictos culturales, coexistencia y extinción de lenguas, o el aprendizaje social. Además, nos centramos en la investigación sobre sistemas socio-técnicos basada en datos TIC, abordando problemas de movilidad humana, transporte, turismo, la nueva ciencia de ciudades,  epidemias o el consumo de energía.
