The Laboratory for Computational Cultural Dynamics (LCCD) is a multidisciplinary research laboratory located under the University of Maryland’s Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS). The lab primarily focuses on the development of theory and algorithms that describe decision making in cultural contexts. An important secondary goal is the development of tools to support such decision making, based on the aforementioned theoretical work. The lab is co-directed by Prof. V. S. Subrahmanian〔() Prof. V. S. Subrahmanian's academic home page〕 and Prof. Dana Nau.〔() Prof. Dana Nau's academic home page〕 ==Motivation== The overall goal of the LCCD is to develop the computational infrastructure needed to help others when decision making in a cultural situation is required.〔(Summary ), Summary of the LCCD given by VS Subrahmanian, Director〕 The technologies developed at the lab see potential application in: * understanding terrorist organizations and predicting terrorist behavior; * understanding other cultures in order to facilitate international collaboration; * preventing crime and reducing conflict; * enhancing the performance of governmental and non-governmental organizations; * improving the quality of life among groups in diverse multi-ethnic societies; * assessing the effectiveness of aid programs in a cultural context; * aiding governmental missions that involve contact with diverse cultural groups; * recovery from conflicts and disasters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laboratory for Computational Cultural Dynamics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
