讲座简介：
It is time for policy analysts to adopt a new approach. Traditional “static” recommendations are often poorly understood by decision makers and become obsolete as operational conditions change on the ground. Policy analysts should take advantage of the rapid development in computing power and technological infrastructure to create software that integrates new information and that allows decision makers to discover policy options by interacting with the software. Dr. Lim will illustrate this transition using the evolution of his own work. He will particularly demonstrate a software application that he has developed for the US Air Force.
