About the Author
Johan A. Elkink is Associate Professor in Social Science Research Methods at University College Dublin. He specialises in quantitative methods in political science, in particular simulation-based research and spatial econometrics. Besides applications in voting behaviour in referendums and national elections, he wrote on the international diffusion of democracy and the evolution of personalist regimes. His work appeared, among other outlets, in the Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, European Journal of Political Research and Electoral Studies.
Nial Friel is Professor of Statistics at University College Dublin. His research is broadly focused on statistical network analysis, Bayesian statistics and Monte Carlo methods. He is especially interested in applications at the interface of these areas. He is currently the joint editor of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series C.
Thomas U. Grund is Associate Professor in Sociology at University College Dublin and was Visiting Professor at the Institute of Sociology at University of Zurich and Simon Visiting Professor at the University of Manchester. He studied computer science and sociology at the University of Trier (Diplom), University of Cambridge (MPhil) and the University of Oxford (DPhil) and held postdoctoral positions at ETH Zurich, Universite de Montreal and Linkoping University. His main research interests include social network analysis and analytical sociology.
Tamara Hochstrasser is an ecologist. For her doctoral research she has developed an individual-based vegetation model. Since joining UniversityCollege Dublin in 2003, she has contributed to research on modelling of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural land, ecosystem services and biodiversity management in urban areas. Tamara is convinced that a transdisciplinary approach is needed for creating an effective evidence-base for decisions making. Some of her theoretical considerations about transdisciplinary research are captured in an agent-based model and in a course manual on knowledge creation at the science-practice interface that she uses for teaching and intends to publish.
Pablo Lucas is a Lecturer at the University College Dublin, Ireland, with research focused on computational social science, particularly experimental designs using agent-based models and data analysis. His education include reading for a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSc) focused on evolutionary networks, a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and a Doctor of Philosophy(PhD) focused on agent-based (social) simulations using models of social behaviour.
Adrian Ottewill is Full Professor of Mathematical Physics and has been a strong supporter of Computational Social Science research at UCD through his roles as Cluster Leader for Simulation Science of the UCD Complex and Adaptive Systems Laboratory and founding Director of the UCD Institute for Discovery. Prof Ottewill holds a BA, DPhil and DSc from the University of Oxford and was elected a Member of the Royal Irish Academy in 1997."About the title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPricesUK, Castle Donington, Derby, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
