Abstract

In this paper we will first discuss computer simulations of social processes as models of qualitative understanding. In the second part of the paper we will present the cellular automata model of dynamic social impact (Nowak et al. 1990) and its applications in the areas of the formation of public opinion and social change as an example of a model of qualitative understanding.
