The
1960s and 1970s saw some first modelling and simulation attempts at
advising policy makers. Half a century later it is the time to review the
current state of affairs in computer-assisted, simulation-based policy
modelling. This new track offers researchers an opportunity to submit
papers in a wide variety of application areas and from a wide variety
of simulation approaches, among them:
-
system dynamics for
forecasting and for foreseeing alternative futures microsimulation
for forecasting national and regional demographic developments
-
participatory modelling and
simulation in environmental management, land use change, urban
development and other areas
-
supporting political decision
making with scenario building
-
designing the whole cycle of
policy analysis, modelling and simulation with integrated tools for
stakeholder involvement
-
supporting the transformation
and coding of natural language texts and conceptual models into formal
simulation models
-
visualizing conceptual models
and simulation results of complex policy contexts to stakeholders
