The Project
The aim of the MOSIPS Project (Modeling and Simulation of the Impact of Public Policies on SMEs) is to develop a user-friendly policy simulation system allowing forecasting and visualization of the socio-economic potential impact of public policies.
The simulation system will allow policy makers to make experiments with different socio-economic designs, with the participation of citizens and potentially impacted stakeholders, before the settlement of a public policy.
The combination of suitable data, models, artificial intelligence and interactive tools will deliver a policy wind tunnel.

Overview
The MOSIPS project, funded by the European Commission in the Seventh Framework Programme under the Objective 5.6 “ICT solutions for governance and policy modeling”, will last 36 months with a total cost of 3.5M€. The project is led by Anova IT Consulting and the consortium is composed by 9 legal entities from 6 European Countries.
The main objective of the MOISPS project is to design and develop a policy-making decision support tool in order to significantly improve the quality of policies implemented by public authorities at any administrative level, and at the same time, facilitate access to meaningful information to citizens about the expected consequences of policies designed for the region/locality/country/area they live at, promoting their engagement and active participation in the policy-making and implementation process.

Expected Results
MOSIPS will deliver a multi-agent based simulator for policy impact assessment and validation with features that advance the state-of-the-art in the field:
- It will be specifically dedicated to public policies evaluation, flexibly adaptable to particular needs of given policy domains.
- It will form a compound of self-contained and reusable web components that will be available for further reuse and exploitation.
- It will allow a direct involvement of different stakeholders in the simulation process.
- It will use for its simulation public data resources.
- It will rely on Open Data Models in order to ensure the reusability of results of simulation and continuous improvement of models and practices.
- It will provide a Visualization Interactive Module allowing a highly intuitive and usable graphical illustration of simulation results facilitating interpretation, learning and drawing conclusions as well as supporting real-time interactions.
