CMAC achieves impact by employing ground-breaking techniques. We have grouped our projects according to their predominant methods so as to clearly convey our research aims and how we attain those results.
In each of these categories, we deploy technology, grapple with complexity and incorporate all forms of the relevant expertise in a constant effort to better understand minds and cultures and to better inform the decisions we make in their nexus.
Modeling Social Systems
By modeling complex social systems, we predict trends, estimate threats, inform policy, test potential solutions, and ascertain the expected impacts of a changing world. We simulate the patterns of culture and individuals that compose human society to advance our understanding of the present and envision the possibilities of the future.
