Laboratory for Computational Cultural Dynamics

An important secondary goal is the development of tools to support such decision making, based on the aforementioned theoretical work.

The algorithms developed, although catered to specific situations, are based on some combination of the following: Modeling the subtle complexities of the interactions between human entities is a challenging problem.

The LCCD produces applications based on its theoretical models as a method of testing the accuracy, speed, and ease of use of its technology.

These applications vary wildly and include: The work done at the LCCD is inherently cross-disciplinary, as it involves a melding of the real and virtual worlds.

Coupled with the University of Maryland’s physical proximity to Washington, DC, long-standing relationships between the federal government, non-profit organizations, and related industry representatives have formed.
