Abstract
Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping is a modeling modality that focuses on capturing human knowledge and understanding. They offer an accessible, quick modeling process that can be used to capture an individual’s causal thinking about a system. They can also be simulated to get a sense of how the system will act over time. This talk will cover the basics of Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping, where it fits in the larger perspective of systems science and how it compares to other modeling methodologies. It will also cover the presenter’s ongoing efforts to create a citation network of the FCM literature.
