Abstract
Modern socio-technical systems are characterized by high structural and behavioral complexities, which impede understanding and modeling of such systems. In particular, reciprocal relations between diverse local system processes that determine global system dynamics are not well understood. In this paper we focus on the problem of establishing relations between cognitive processes that determine social dynamics of an actor in a socio-technical system. To address this problem, a formal, integrated, agent-based modeling approach is proposed. The approach defines relations between such cognitive processes as belief revision, trust dynamics, generation and development of feelings and emotions, and decision making. Furthermore, it is described how the behavior of an agent is related to its cognitive dynamics. Preliminary experimental results for the approach are discussed in the paper.
