Please excuse this query, but i'm looking for work on the sociology of computer modelling.

i can find masses of stuff on doing sociology with computers, but almost nothing on the social dynamics of the modeeling process. 

Given that modelling depends on negotiated guesses, simplifications, broad summaries and so on, it is clearly a social process, and i would have thought there must be masses of stuff. i have only found Paul Edwards 'A Vast Machine' and i'm not quite sure it is what i want....

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them.
