Résumé

Social networks are the most salient concepts in social sciences. In industrial engineering, the informal communication between people in a social network has an important part in the change management. The choice to adopt a new technology, in particular Information System, in an organization or ecosystem is not always rational. The opinion of individuals is influenced by information gathered about the attributes of the technology from other members of their social network. Research in the domain gives significant results but the influence of information on individuals within a social network is, mostly, statically modeled where the dynamic aspect is not frequently tackled. In addition, the works about modeling and simulation of the population reaction to the information do not use explicit formal languages to describe their models. These models are classically specified in the shape of graph or math Expressions and then directly coded using classical programming languages. The DEVS formalism (Discrete EVent system Specifications) is being general enough to represent such dynamical systems. It provides an operational semantics applicable to this domain. These models are independent from implementation and so, easily reusable. The purpose of this work is to provide a simple but efficient and accurate framework to model and simulate the propagation of information and its influence on individual behavior. We present in this paper the results of three cases of simulation showing that our architecture is efficient and the numerous perspectives to this work.
