Abstract

In sociology mathematical methods based on statistic approach have long been in use. With advances in the theory and methods of dynamical sustems , and computer technologies the computer modeling methods become one of main exploration tools. A great body of models describing complex processes in society are dynamical systems or non-autonomous differential and difference equations with a large number of parameters. In this connection the choice of an appropriate tool for study of such systems is of considerable importance. In this work we consider tye environment for visual modeling RMD (RandModelDesign) designed for studying complex systems and having simple and convenient interface and high- level modeling language. The advantages of the package are demonstrated with models of social diffusion and sociogenesis.
