Abstract: |
In
this paper we present a new approach of performing urban policy modelling and making with the help of ICT enabled tools.
We present a complete policy cycle that includes creating policy plans,
securing stakeholders and public engagement, implementation, monitoring, and
evaluating a particular policy model. ICT enabled tools can be deployed at
various stages in this cycle, but they require an intuitive interface which
can be supported by domain specific languages (DSLs)
as the means to express policy modelling aspects
such as computational processes and computer-readable policy rules in the
words of the domain expert. In order to evaluate the use of such languages,
we present a real-world scenario from the urban API project. We describe how DSLs for this scenario would look like. Finally, we
discuss strengths and limitations of our approach as well as lessons learned. |
