Agent-based modelling of values: The case of value sensitive design for refugee logistics
Boshuijzen-Van Burken, Christine; Gore, Ross; Dignum, Frank; Royakkers, Lamber; Wozny, Phillip; Shults, F. LeRon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We have used value sensitive design as a method to develop an agent-based model of values in humanitarian logistics for refugees.
