... Therefore policy makers have not yet at their disposal a set of instruments able to cope with the needs stemming from their decision making activities. This analysis presented in this chapter has the main objective to investigate how ICT tools and methodologies can impact real life governance and policy making, and is based on the roadmapping exercise conducted as part of the CROSSOVER project (Osimo et al., 2013). This international roadmap funded and supported by the European Commission aims to establish the scientific and political basis for long-lasting interest and commitment to next generation policymaking, as well as to provide a clear outline of what technologies are available now for policymakers to improve their work, and what could become available in the future. ...
... The CROSSOVER project pursues this goal through a combination of content production, ad hoc and well-designed online and offline animation; as well as strong links with existing communities outside the CROSSOVER project and outside the realm of e-Government. The present chapter builds on one of the core outputs of the project: the International Research Roadmap on ICT Tools for Governance and Policy Modeling (Osimo et al., 2013). It aims to create a common platform between actors fragmented in different disciplines, policy domains, organisations and geographical areas. ...

The chapter is based on current research conducted by the authors as part of the “CROSSOVER Project – Bridging Communities for Next Generation Policy Making,” an FP7-funded support action of the European Commission, whose main goal is to reach out to and raise the awareness of users, particularly public government practitioners and policymakers, while developing a research roadmap for establishing the scientific and political basis for long-lasting interest and commitment to next generation policymaking. In particular, the chapter identifies the opportunities and benefits resulting from applications of ICT tools for collaborative governance and policy modeling and provides an outline of what technologies are and will be available to meet the needs of policymakers. The project builds on the CROSSROAD model and roadmap with the aim to reach a stronger focus on policy modeling.
... Through the deepening of the theoretical framework were defined the methodological and epistemological choices indicating the approach, categories and relevant criteria. The methods and instruments are approached with the support of political modeling techniques, gamification and political formulation 2.0 [Título do documento] (Mureddu et al., 2012, Mureddu et al., 2014, Charalabidis et al., 2012Osimo et al., 2013). Theoretical breakdown of the research. ...
Conference Paper
the scenario of the public sector faces new opportunities for reform and adaptation, constantly being stimulated for innovation from the new lexicon of open government. But the capacity for innovation is followed by tensions and criticism about government structures and culture, and open governance participation options. Field analyzes reveal some progress, but point to the need for broader reforms in public management architecture. Roy (2014, 2016) reveal the contradictory positions in open government plans, and the symptomatic need for administrative, technological, political, cultural, and social changes in the public sector. This research approaches, analyzes and proposes alternatives for systemic openness and virtualization, prioritizing the new participatory mechanisms underlying the ethos of open government. Our studies offer models of descriptive, prescriptive and predictive analysis through a framework for evaluation and construction of the plan in open government and e-participation based on the cycle of public policies. For this level, we propose to establish the discussion about open government and e-participation, to improve analysis models through comparison and case studies. The expected result is a management tool for policy formulation 2.0 underlying the vast array of elements or dimensions that make up the decision-making process of public policies. The product is the production of a policy brief that points out the best ways for local strategies in open government and e-participation.

The purpose of this chapter is to outline an advanced policy lifecycle, the FUPOL model with its ability to link technical features in the area of policy modeling. The FUPOL Policy Lifecycle is based on 6 stages, which are further divided into 8 main tasks. These main tasks are split up into 19 subtasks to provide a very detailed policy lifecycle structure. The detailed breakdown allows one to link each task to various technical features, such as opinion maps, policy indicator dashboard, knowledge database, and simulation and visualization tools. The chapter further argues that the methodology applied is future proof and has the potential of accommodating new technologies in the future.
