We are excited to invite you to submit research papers to our first Society
5.0 Conference.


Society 5.0 can be defined as a human-centered society that balances
economic advancement with the resolution of social problems by a system
that highly integrates cyberspace (virtual space) and physical (real)
space. The aim of Society 5.0 is to create a society where social
challenges are resolved by incorporating the innovations of the fourth
industrial revolution (e.g. Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial
intelligence, and the sharing economy) into industry and social life. The
term originated in Japan from the government’s Council for Science,
Technology, and Innovation and it tackles any aspect of society like
healthcare, mobility, infrastructure, politics, government, economy and
industry.



Society 5.0 also involves the enormous opportunities and challenges of the
21st century. Problems such as climate change, migration and resource
consumption must be solved jointly and globally. Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) such as poverty and education require international efforts.
Lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic can have an important impact on
dealing with global challenges and crisis situations. Technological
advancements and trends for digital transformation should assist us to
address these global problems. Convergence of cyberspace and physical space
can foster new forms of global cooperation. People, things, and systems are
all connected in cyberspace. Results obtained by AI can exceed the
capabilities of humans and are fed back to physical space.



The conference Society 5.0 is going to deal with the entire range of these
opportunities and challenges and show solutions. For a list of topics
please refer to the website
