Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability and technological innovation are intricately entwined and rely on one another. By making it possible to create new goods and services that are more sustainable, resource-efficient, and environmentally friendly, technological innovation can promote sustainability. Simultaneously, sustainability can spur on technical advancement by increasing demand for novel tools and approaches to solve societal and environmental problems. In general, technical innovation and sustainability work best together and reinforce one another. It is crucial to maintain innovation in vital industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and the energy sector while simultaneously giving sustainability top priority during the development and uptake of new technologies in order to build a more sustainable future.
Therefore, this Special Issue invites submissions in the form theoretical or applied research on managing technology, including decision-making connected to Industry 4.0 and 5.0, artificial intelligence, 5G and 6G telecommunications, unmanned vehicles, and other such revolutionary techniques. Reviews and case studies are also welcomed.
The papers chosen for this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer review process with the goal of distributing research findings, advancements, and applications quickly and widely.
