Chapter 10 – Policymakers are tasked with making decisions on issues characterized as wicked problems because of controversies, unknown relationships between causes and consequences, and (consequently) uncertain futures.

Broadly speaking, this provides the motive for using computational modeling for policymaking as expressed in, e.g., policy informatics
