Special Issue for Journal of Future Society and Education JFSE（publish as regular issue）

Journal for Future Society and Education (JFSE) is a peer-reviewed open access journal. Today's society and education is oriented towards the future, such as general education, sustainable society and artificial intelligence. Various new concepts, information, and technologies are constantly emerging, and the future has arrived. How to learn new knowledge, how to adapt to the new society, and how to guide new education are some of the issues worth studying. The aim of the journal is to invite scholars to research and forecast the future for society and education.

Theme: 

Aging, Health, Life Skills Reconsidered and Computational Social Policy

About this SI:

This is the age of Artificial Intelligence, but this is also the era of aging.

AI holds promises for faster discoveries of medicines, better designed robotic health carer, and how to enhance safety living environments. These innovations certainly will improve the life of older people. However, it is important not to forget that people, and older people, must always be placed in the center of all innovations, not as a passive recipient, but as a striving actor.

Our society has witnessed ground breaking introductions of technologies in the past century, from telephone to digital phones, from automobiles to self-driven robotic cars. The latest powerful presence of Artificial Intellegences can be traced back to the advances of Information Technologies. Computational facilities connecting human to human, things to things, data to data, are reshaping human living.  Computational facilities should also be employed to construct a developmental environment to embetter the life of the older people.

Computational Social Policy aims to use computer science, data science, and advanced statistics in social policy analysis. Quantitative methods are therefore applied to therectical policy issues related to aging and health concerns of the future society which is already here.

You are invited to submit articles related to Aging and Health, in relation to politics, economics, sociology, psychology and other life sciences. Your researh should demonstrate how computational sciences can be applied to data analysis and policy formulation.

The papers can also be related to education or retraining of life skills for older people. They are not only facing the challenge of getting old, but also getting old in a digital world. It may means less human interactions and more isolation in daily life.

Submission Deadline:

The deadline of submitting the full paper is May 31, 2026.
