Description
You'll have to identify similar research, read the papers, and assimilate prior work into your own research. An annotated bibliography helps you develop and hone these research skills.
Your paper will be an annotated bibliography, specifically focusing on the topic of using simulations for policy making. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policy making.
You paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at five (5) resources, ALL of which must:
1) Be current. Published within the last few years.
2) Be peer-reviewed.
3) Relate directly to using simulations for policy making. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policy making.
USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!! DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!!!!
Remember that an annotation is not the same as an abstract. Abstracts are descriptive. Your annotations are to be evaluative and critical. Give me enough information for me to decide if I'm interested enough to read the paper, and also how you perceive the paper. Don't go skimpy on these annotations, but DO NOT write too much here. Quality is far more important that quantity. This exercise is for each of you to demonstrate that you can identify, categorize, and digest multiple research papers.
Every resource you choose must be peer reviewed. That means the paper must have undergone a formal peer review before being published in a journal or presented at a conference. You must ensure that your resources have undergone rigorous reviews. In most cases, you can find out the review process for a conference or journal by visiting the appropriate web site. Do not simply assume that a resource is peer reviewed - check it out.

Introduction
The process of policymaking has been adhering to the behavioural models for an
extended period as the fundamental guidelines for decision-making. This way, there has been a
lack of a particular set of activities, which have been acknowledged for utilisation during the
decision-making process. The objective of this paper is composing an annotated bibliography for
some models, which could be utilized for the process of making policy in IT.
Annotated Bibliography
Ahrweiler, P., (2017). Agent-based simulation for science, technology, and innovation
policy. Scientometrics, 110(1), 391-415. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-016-2105-0
Ahrweiler points out the challenges of uncertainty, complexity, and urgency that
refute the anticipation of social systems mainly, where there is involvement of the new
knowledge as a changer of the original game. Agent-based simulation and modelling, as the
author highlights offer unique opportunities for addressing the challenges of prediction and
planning (policymaking) in social systems. The IT inform the ABMs in a way that STI
(science, technology and innovation) policy worlds can be integrated into computers. The
worlds under computational STI enhances case analysis, policy modelling, experimentation,
and testing before any implementation of the policy to the real world. This way, the author is
clear in the description of the simulation for policymaking utilising IT. However, the
simulation can assist individuals in shedding light into the future darkness rather than
anticipating it...
