Abstract
We consider stochastic dynamic models studied via computer simulation. We review some basic results for the voter model which is probably the simplest model of collective behavior. Specifically, we focus on the dynamical effect of who interacts with whom - that is, the consequences of different interaction networks. We also consider R. Axelrod´s (1997) model for the dissemination of culture.
