FuturICT Flagship augstākais mērķis ir saprast un pārvaldīt sarežģītas globālas sociāli interaktīvas sistēmas, īpaši to elastību un ilgtspēju.
Atklāt slēptos pricipus un procesus, kas raksturo sabiedrību, ir nozīmīgs mūsu gadsimta zinātnes izaicinājums. Tas ir svarīgi jaunu uzticamu, spēcīgu un adaptīvu IKT attīstībai, kuras iedvesmo sociālās paradigmas. Integrējot IKT, komplekso sistēmu zinātni un sociālās zinātnes, notiks paradigmas maiņa, kas veicinās sadarbīgi saistītu sabiedrības un IKT evolūciju.
Mērķi
Goals
The ultimate goal of the FuturICT Flagship is to understand and manage complex, global, socially interactive systems, with a focus on sustainability and resilience.
Revealing the hidden laws and processes underlying societies constitutes the most pressing scientific grand challenge of our century and is equally important for
the development of novel robust, trustworthy and adaptive information and communication technologies (ICT), based on socially inspired paradigms.
Integrating ICT, Complexity Science and the Social Sciences will create a paradigm shift, facilitating a symbiotic co-evolution of ICT and society.
FuturICT
FuturICT as a whole will act as a Knowledge Accelerator, turning massive data into knowledge and technological progress. In this way, FuturICT will create the scientific methods and ICT platforms needed to address planetary-scale challenges and opportunities in the 21st century. Specifically, FuturICT will build a sophisticated simulation, visualization and participation platform, known as the Living Earth Platform.
