Simulating Terrorism

The LA Times has an article about applying agent technology to the simulation of terrorism, entitled The Sims Take on Al Qaeda.

It looks into such games as the Sims, where simple rules can produce very complex patterns and strategies. The practical application of this approach to terrorism is then underlined. I'm not hopeful for a Sims game based on that premise (do you think Bin Laden would leave is plate out after eating?), nor am I for the results of the simulation -- he may just end up burning to death in the kitchen 'cos he got stuck in the doorway while cooking ... ;)

Anyway, an interesting article none the less!
