PANEL DESCRIPTION

Open data strategies are being adopted worldwide as part of national and
international reforms that focus on the intensive and creative use of
information and technology to improve policy-making and governance. These
efforts cross various policy  areas  including  education,  public  health,
transportation, environmental stewardship, economic development, and many
other areas. The explosive growth in data, computational power, and
technological capabilities has created both new challenges for practice and
new tools for research. Policy informatics  is  an  emerging  area  that
explores  how  information technologies  and  computational  modeling
techniques  (such  as agent-based, system dynamics, data visualization or
social network modeling) can support policy making and governance. A basic
assumption in policy informatics is that more intensive and creative use of
information and technology can improve policy-making processes and lead to
better policy choices, especially under conditions of high complexity.

 

The complexity of public problems has not changed, what has changed is our
ability to obtain information, to manipulate it, and to disseminate it. This
panel welcomes contributions that use tools and techniques that investigate
the non-linear relationships and complexity inherent in intractable public
policy issues and management dilemmas to better understand the impacts and
consequences of technological, political, policy, and managerial choices.
