Abstract: Abstract SCAMP (Social Causality using Agents with Multiple Perspectives) is one of four social simulators that generated socially realistic data for the Ground Truth program. Unlike the other three simulators, it is based on a computational principle, stigmergy, inspired by social insects. Using this approach, we modeled conflict in a nation-state inspired by the ongoing scenario in Syria. This paper summarizes stigmergy and describes the Conflict World we built in SCAMP.
