Engineering and Decision Support for Sustainable Development

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

On a planet that is constantly changing, and in a society that is constantly evolving, applied engineering should be reshaped to consider modern global needs. Thus, in an extremely dynamic period for humanity, with evolution moving at a very fast pace, engineering science is required to adapt to global conditions.

The “Engineering and Decision Support for Sustainable Development” Special Issue calls for high-quality research papers that promote multi-disciplinary tools and techniques to robustly support decision making and solve practical problems towards sustainable development. Τhe issue covers an interdisciplinary area related to the sustainability characterization literature, since it delves into all aspects of the three pillars of sustainability: economy, society and environment. On this basis, the issue will usefully supplement currently available related literature.
