The first draft of the Roadmap on Future Information and
Communication technologies (ICT) for Governance and Policy Modelling was
released during the ICT 2010 conference, at the interactive networking
session of the CROSSROAD project (27 September 2010, Brussels). Interested parties are now welcome to vote online and make suggestions to improve the roadmap at http://crossroad.epu.ntua.gr/xblog/.
The
aim of the networking session was to create feedback and reach
community consensus on the research roadmap on ICT for governance and
policy modelling. In the first part of the session, Dimitris Askounis
from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) presented the
CROSSROAD project, followed David Osimo (Tech4i2) and Yannis
Charalabidis (NTUA) who presented the Grand Challenges for research. The
presentation was followed by a discussion and the validation / rating
of the challenges by the participants, facilitated by the CROSSROAD
Consortium members. The networking session at ICT 2010 proved very
successful with over 100 participants, high interaction and quality
discussions. The people present started voting and commenting. Now the
CROSSROAD project opens up the discussion with all interested parties. In
particular, the online consultation and vote aim to determine whether
the four grand challenges and the subset of 20 research challenges
identified in the Roadmap have been correctly determined, and whether
important challenges have been missed. The four grand challenges can be rated and commented on at the following links, respectively: Additional challenges can be suggested at http://crossroad.uservoice.com/forums/77255-additional-challenges.
