The Evolution of Cooperation
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game was developed for cooperation in organisms, and the results of a computer tournament showed how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established.

TL;DR: A model is developed based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game to show how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established.

The Complexity of Cooperation: Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration
TL;DR: A collection of seven essays that serve as an introductory text on complexity theory and computer modelling in the social sciences, and as an overview of the current state of the art in this field can be found in this paper.

An evolutionary approach to norms
TL;DR: In this article, the emergence and stability of behavioral norms in the context of a game played by people of limited rationality is analyzed with a computer simulation based upon the evolutionary principle that strategies shown to be relatively effective will be used more in the future than less effective strategies.

The Dissemination of Culture: A Model with Local Convergence and Global Polarization
TL;DR: In this paper, an agent-based adaptive model is proposed to reveal the effects of a mechanism of convergent social influence, where actors are placed at fixed sites and the basic premise is that the more similar an actor is to a neighbor, the more likely that that actor will adopt one of the neighbor's traits.
