Proposed Project Synopsis- Draft started on 12/16/2006

This project will seek to gather the interface requirements for policy analysts using multiple modeling systems to generate and execute policy scenarios. This project will also seek to define the requirements and architecture for the underlying model interactions and how the input and output of these models will be visually presented to and manipulated by the policy analysts. The keys facets of the interface explorations will be abstraction and introspection of complex model input and output, the aggregation of input variables, and a documentation support system for the models being used. The feasibility of an architecture for model extensibility and maintainability will also be investigated.

The proposed deliverables for this project are as follows:

• Requirements document for policy analyst interface
• Prototype for the policy analyst interface for creating and running scenarios
• Architecture design for model documentation and integrated help support
