Two models of Innovation Diffusion

This paper describes two communication models which Simulate INnovation DIffusion (SINDI).* SINDI 1, a stochastic model, simulates diffusion of information to cliques in a small Latin American community. SINDI 2, an expected-value model, simulates the diffusion of the adoption of an innovation among members of a community. Both models are programmed in USASI FORTRAN because the language is widely understood and FORTRAN compilers are available on most computers.
