Create a thread and post 3 comments:
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 simulating 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.
To complete this assignment, you must do the following:
A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, 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 simulating 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.
B) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that students recommendations. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread.
Remember your initial post on the main topic should be posted by Thursday 11:59 PM (EST). Your 2 following posts should be commenting on your classmates post on different days by Sunday 11:59 PM (EST). You should end the week with 3 total discussion posts. A quality post is more than stating, I agree with you. Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmates post. Additionally, post some examples or find a related topic.
NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your words.
