Part 1 – Complex Systems and Visual Decision Support
Write 3-4 paragraph with references  

Chapter 13 discussed managing complex systems and chapter 15 introduced the advantages of visual decision support. Discuss how you would combine the two concepts to create visualizations for an ABM-Based Gaming simulation for policy making. First, describe what specific policy youre trying to create. Lets stick with the SmartCity scenario. Describe a specific policy (that you havent used before), and how you plan to use ABM-Based Gaming to build a model for simulate the effects of the policy. Then, describe what type of visualization technique youll use to make the model more accessible. Use figure 15.9 and describe what data a new column for your policy would contain.
