Abstract
Socio-technical systems are characterized by high structural and behavioral
complexities, which impede understanding and modeling of such systems.
In particular, reciprocal relations between diverse local system
processes that determine global system dynamics are not well understood.
In this article we focus on the problem of establishing relations
between cognitive processes that determine the social dynamics of
an actor in a socio-technical system. To address this problem, a
formal, integrated, agent-based modeling approach is proposed. The
approach provides rich analysis possibilities of qualitative and
quantitative properties, specified at local (agent) and global (system)
levels. An application of the approach in the context of a subway
evacuation case is described in the article.
