Abstract

As social context becomes a more central concept for social simulation, different approaches to context have been developed. We discuss four of these with the help of an overall Contextual Action Framework for Computational Agents (CAFCA). More in particular, we describe how the consumat model, social norms, collective reasoning, and social practices can be related to each other using CAFCA. Following this we show how these approaches than can co-exist in the analysis and simulation of social phenomena rather than compete or be seen as mutually exclusive.
