This chapter elaborates on the general thought process behind Society 5.0 and lists the relevant nomenclature. As per the Japanese government literature, Society 5.0 should be one that, "through the high degree of merging between cyberspace and physical space, will be able to balance economic advancement with the resolution of social problems by providing goods and services that granularly address manifold latent needs regardless of locale, age, sex, or language." The vision
The demand for knowledge management is increasing because knowledge is an important and essential resource for sustaining competitiveness. We report a system to support knowledge asset reuse. Incorporating work breakdown structure-based project management, workflow management, and a document database, the system guides workers to efficiently store and reuse knowledge assets. To dynamically circulate knowledge throughout an organization, the system supports the concept of knowledge flow, through which knowledge is transferred from one project to another. A distinctive feature of our approach is that after collecting relevant knowledge, the system sends it to the members of a project and prompts them to have a meeting to discuss whether they accept the knowledge. The purpose of this meeting is to have members internalize knowledge assets and share their tacit knowledge through discussion. We developed a prototype system and evaluated it using our experience with it.
Society 5.0 balances the best interests of the society as a whole, which involves the resolution of social issues, with the best interests of individuals, which is the indication of a human-centered society. In this chapter, we discuss the key performance indicators (KPI) formula as an approach to balancing these two factors. Under the context of "Habitat Innovation," the following approach is proposed to address social issues. In Habitat Innovation, the KPIs are factorized into three components that are "structural transformation," "technological innovation," and "quality of life (QoL)." Government leadership is required for "structural transformation." This component suggests ways in which the cyber-physical convergence framework can be deployed in the policymaking process. The "technological innovation" component tells us how the cyber-physical convergence framework can help to create a resource-efficient society. The "QoL" component can prompt us to deploy data in a way that generates new services for supporting people's QoL. In Habitat Innovation, the insights of engineering, social sciences, humanities, and many other disciplines are used to analyze what QoL means at an individual level and to identify the role that policy and technology should play in enhancing it. Examples using the Habitat Innovation framework to solve key social issues are shown.
