Research subject

Studies about high precision ‘digital rehearsal’ technology for measures to solve social issues

Contents of research

Due to the increasing complexity of social issues, technologies are required to digitally reproduce human and social activities across fields such as the environment, the economy, and health, and to support the formulation of measures to resolve these issues. Therefore, we will conduct research and development on high-precision digital rehearsal [1] technology that models the behavior of people and society, taking into account the values of various people, and enables us to examine the effects and impacts of measures in advance. We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable and vibrant society.

Roles of both parties

Nagoya University

Overall management of joint research projects, research a state-of-art technology for human behavior and social modeling based on diverse values, and evaluation of technologies through social demonstration experiments in communities.

Fujitsu Limited
