Ideologias@Home, BOINC Ideology Spreading Model
The aim of the project Ideologias@Home is to study how people in a certain region evolve ideologically over time with respect to an idea. When an idea is introduced in a society, the population is divided naturally into four groups:
People change their minds because of peer pressure, the influence of mass media or because because they come to a different conclusion of their own accord. Under this assumption, we propose dynamic models, determine the parameters, predict trends and analyse results.
A more detailed report of this project is available in this page.

To everyone helping us
Thank You!
May you please provide more details about what we crunch?
Sure. I will prepare a brief report explaining what type of data is being provided in the WU and what type of calculations are performed. When available, it will be announced here.
Hi Javier,

Felicitaciones para todos sus proyectos …
¿Va a sólo 180 mil unidades que se calcula para este proyecto? o es sólo un primer paso?
Más idea de lo que están estudiando?
Inicialmente son solo 180.000. Dependerá de si vemos que el modelo es viable o no el que hagamos otra serie de cálculos con posterioridad.
