The system will be able to automatically collect, analyze and interpret opinions expressed on a large scale from the Internet. This will enable governments to gain a better understanding of the needs of citizens. Likewise the software will have the capabilities to simulate the effects of policies and laws and to assist governments in the whole policy design process._2a4a5c02-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2aTo enable a completely new approach to traditional politics._2a4a5cca-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2aGovernance ModelPropose a comprehensive new governance model to support the policy design and implementation lifecycle._2a4a5d56-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a... the project proposes a comprehensive new governance model to support the policy design and implementation lifecycle. The innovations are driven by the demand of citizens and political decision makers to support the policy domains in urban regions with appropriate ICT technologies. It will target domains such as sustainable development, land use, urban planning, urban segregation and migration. The scientific approach is based on complexity science. It aims at reducing the complexity through a comprehensive policy spiral design lifecycle approach deemed appropriate for complex societal problems.Stakeholder Engagement[Develop] a new governance model to engage all stakeholders in the whole policy design lifecycle._2a4a5dd8-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a1Policy Knowledge[Create] a policy knowledge database._2a4a5e64-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a2ICT Framework[Design] a cloud computing based comprehensive ICT Framework._2a4a5efa-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a3Multilingual Training[Provide] multilingual training._2a4a5f86-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a4PilotingPiloting in Europe and China._2a4a6026-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a5EuropeChinaDissemination[Engage in] large scale dissemination._2a4a60c6-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a6Exploitation Strategy[Compile] a sustainable exploitation strategy._2a4a617a-26d3-11e1-95ab-931a7a64ea2a72011-12-14http://www.fupol.eu/?q=node/6OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
