我们考虑的问题是找到合适的措施来验证模拟的网络作为(基于代理的)社会模拟的结果。本文回顾了计算机科学和社会科学的一些技术，这些技术试图通过使用网络测量来比较和匹配各种模拟网络与可用的数据。我们看了几种社会网络分析方法，然后将重点转向在网络子组识别中不仅考虑节点的位置，而且考虑节点的特征及其与其他节点的聚集性的技术。我们将讨论如何比较网络的静态和动态性质。最后，我们敦促采取更全面、更透明和更严格的方法，将模拟生成的网络与现有数据进行比较。
We consider the problem of finding suitable measures to validate simulated networks as outcome of (agent-based) social simulations. A number of techniques from computer science and social sciences are reviewed in this paper, which tries to compare and ‘fit’ various simulated networks to the available data by using network measures. We look at several social network analysis measures but then turn our focus to techniques that not only consider the position of the nodes but also their characteristics and their tendency to cluster with other nodes in the network – subgroup identification. We discuss how static and dynamic nature of networks may be compared. We conclude by urging a more comprehensive, transparent and rigorous approach to comparing simulation-generated networks against the available data.
