Reviews
“This very interesting book considers a novel but important field of complex systems modeling involving human processes as a whole, and is of great use to researchers seeking to develop scientific models for human behavior, decision making, social interactions, including the complexities of human emotions, shared understanding, joint decision making and self-ownership.” (Efstratios Rappos, zbMATH 1391.91005, 2018) “The book is a collection of relatively independent chapters, each with its own bibliography. … The volume will be of great interest to modeling practitioners and cognitive scientists, who will find great stimulation in the explanations it offers of various cognitive dynamics.” (H. Van Dyke Parunak,Computing Reviews, July, 2018)

Author Information
Prof. Jan Treur, Faculty of Sciences, the Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam, is the head of the Behavioural Informatics Group. This multidisciplinary group investigates methods and techniques for modelling and analysis of complex human and social processes. Such models are applied to design human- or socially aware applications that support humans or groups of humans in their daily functioning, for example, in the form of smartphone apps or specialized social media. Application areas include support for a healthy lifestyle, active lifestyle, ambient-assisted living, crowd behavior, virtual patients, chronic diseases, and mental disorders such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, or autism spectrum disorders. Among Prof. Treur’s research interests are Complex Adaptive Systems, Computational Modelling, Human-Aware and Socially Aware Computing, Ambient Intelligence, Social Networks, Socio-Technical Systems, Cognitive, Affective and Social Neuroscience, Biological or Biologically Inspired Modelling, Social and Organization Modelling, and Philosophy of Mind. He has taken part in various National and EU Projects, was and is involved in many conferences as Program Committee Member, Chair or Keynote Speaker, and has more than 600 papers to his name. He has designed successful multidisciplinary curricula for Bachelor and Master programs in Lifestyle Informatics and Socially Aware Computing at his university. He has been and is teaching on modelling topics within these Bachelor and Master curricula and up to now has supervised well over 30 PhD theses within these areas.
