Big data analyses have uncovered many empirical laws hidden in our society and economy. Mathematical models have been introduced successfully explaining the empirical laws as typically seen in the new field of econophysics. Now is the time to step up to the next stage, let us aim at establishment of modeling and simulations of the whole society, which can directly contribute to the industry as well as help in decision making. To this end we need to gather all our knowledge about laws and models in various fields, we also need assimilation and synthesis for models to fit with the latest data, and for all related models to fit within an integrated grand model of the society.

Keywords:
big data analysis, economic and financial systems, biological systems, multi-agent systems, complex networks, nonlinear dynamics, game theory, supercomputing, data assimilation, traffic simulation, disaster simulation, predictability, and more…
