 Using of ACP in Building a Design-Based Society


ACP, which is an abbreviation of “Artificial Society–Computational Experiment–Parallel Execution”, is a concept that expresses that society can be simulated very close to reality with technological means.


Building a super-intelligent society that is individual-centered is the main aim of the Society 5.0 vision. Accordingly, when the Society 5.0 target is achieved, it is desired to repair the damage caused by the production-oriented missions of the industrial revolutions. In addition, a participatory, happy, and prosperous society will be established. However, the construction of a new design-based society also requires a discussion of reliable and applicable experimental methods. With computer simulations developed today, products can be tested in a realistic way before mass production is started. Thus, costs can be reduced and possible accidents can be prevented. It is already practiced that all necessary tests can be carried out before landing on the runway by means of virtual twins of Formula vehicles and warplanes. Considering these examples, the fact that all kinds of data can be collected through information and communication technologies (ICT), especially sensor technology and social media, and having technologies that can process this data, shows that virtual twins of social systems can also be made.

As it is understood from the data, it is possible to create similar societies in the computer environment with the current technological possibilities. The solutions developed for these societies can be tested with computerized experiments and the closest solutions can be selected and applied to these societies with a management style in which humans and computers cooperate. These collaborative models can be produced with an approach called Artificial Society – Computational Experiment – ​​Parallel Execution and briefly referred to as ACP. Social interactions can be observed in micro view through these models, in which the CPSS technological infrastructure, including the social layer added to the CPS technology, is used. Thus, individual, institutional and managerial abilities can be developed through collaborative intelligence and the joint management of people. It seems possible to reach smart societies such as Society 5.0, which is intended to be designed and built with this method, which is understood to offer effective scientific solutions to management and control problems, and beyond. At the same time, it is understood from this result that the opportunity to make experiments and observations in the laboratory environment has been brought to the social sciences with the ACP.
