摘要

The paper is proposing a framework of a dynamic social evolution model called SynopCity ¿¿¿ Virtual City serving as virtual living laboratory for a research of topics related to smart cities. Concept of SynopCity ¿¿¿ Virtual City is an application representing a model of virtual city, connected to a social network (www.synopcity.com) where network's members are acting as a citizens developing new urban developments in a virtual world under specific rules and regulations. It will allow authors of paper to study complex social behavior of all parties responsible for city development and decision making processes based on available historical data collected during this experiment of dynamic social evolution model development. Citizens are actively participating on this process along with model authorities and community representatives following statutes, rules and law. Authors of paper are also proposing an implementation of Industry 4.0 principles. The city is acting as an Industry 4.0 factory where all processes and relation between product and production are mirrored between physical factory networked systems and factory's virtual model.
