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 you’re trying to create. Let’s stick with the SmartCity scenario. Describe a specific policy (that you haven’t 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 you’ll 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:

Part 2 – short research paper

Write 2 pages with references 

 
Each student will write a short research paper for a peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the week’s assigned reading.  This will be a detailed summary of the research paper and what you gained from the research.  Each week, you will find an article/peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the week’s assignment.  If you have a difficult time, Google Scholar is a wonderful location to find these types of articles:
https://scholar.google.com/  — -Please see this link to find the article 

Summary – Once you find the article, you will simply read it and then write a review of it.  Think of it as an article review where you submit a short overview of the article.
