Achieving traceability of information in collaborative policy modelling processes

In this paper we describe design and integration of ICT-based tools for achieving the traceability of information between several steps of collaborative policy modelling process proposed by the OCOPOMO project. This process combines collaborative creation a collaborative creation and analysis of narrative scenarios with agent-based simulation models. The policy model for a given domain is created iteratively using cooperation of several stakeholder groups (decision makers, analysts, companies, civic societies, and the general public). In order to provide the modellers and stakeholders with the correct and case-specific information we have designed the integrated architecture that support sharing and traceability of evidence-based information between simulation models (with rules and agents), conceptual models of the current case and related background data. Therefore, users are able to work with such information in their policy preparing process with the appropriate set of tools.
