ABSTRACT: Much like Systems Biology engages engineers and CS folks in the traditional life sciences, Systems Sociology is an emerging research movement which brings engineering approaches to bear on the classic social sciences -- especially computation & modeling, instrumentation & automation, iteration & experimentation. MIT has the opportunity to be proactive in bridging across our schools and disciplines to develop broad excellence in this promising domain. We will speculate about possible directions where we are advantageously positioned to contribute, including:
• Exploring role-playing games as Synthetic Sociology;
• Using distributed sensors, cell phones, and smart spaces as Socioscopes, i.e. in vivo anthro-research instruments;
• Creating Socioinformatics analysis & visualization tools, and more.
