Title
Policy informatics: addressing complex problems with rich data, computational tools, and stakeholder engagement
Abstract
Policy informatics is an analytical approach that comprises concepts, methods, and processes for understanding complex public policy and management problems. Policy informatics uses modern computational methods to process vast quantities of data, mine data from single and multiple sources, seek patterns in multidimensional data, and develop models of various phenomena. This multidisciplinary panel has several goals. First, to raise awareness and interest in research and application of modeling techniques to complex public policy problems. Second, panelists will discuss techniques, challenges, costs and benefits of different kinds of stakeholder engagement in model building and interpretation at each stage in the policy process. Finally, the panel session is designed to exchange ideas and approaches with the audience regarding the application, value, and limitations of policy modeling and policy informatics in digital government research and in research-practice partnerships.
