%X Making rational policy decisions for complex problems requires comprehensive analyses of relations between decisions and the consequences resulting from their implementations. Such relations can be represented by various mathematical models, each having an infinite number of solutions of the decision problem. The paper presents the requirements for the modeling process, discusses diversified methods of model analysis in more detail, and outlines open scientific challenges.
