What is Social Complexity?

Social complexity is the study of social phenomenon through the lens of complex systems.  This often includes building computational models of social behavior, some of which are related to computer science topics such as: cellular automaton, genetic algorithms, or neural networks.  Social network analysis is also related to social complexity as it is used to quantify relationships, roles, and organization amongst agents.
