Synergies of Soft Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Signal/Image Processing Techniques in the Advancement of Sustainable Technologies.

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, the world is suffering from distress due to excessive pollution, non-affordable healthcare, climatic modifications, depletion of non-renewable resources, non-green manufacturing, etc. Over recent decades, researchers have inclined more towards the route of sustainable development, which is one of the best ways of intercepting the growth of these global issues. The literature has explicitly asserted some of the more well-known engineering techniques that play a vital role in enabling positive changes, which is helpful in counteracting global issues and advancing sustainable growth.  

In order to counter the uncertain and complex problems of the world, the main perspective of this Special Issue is solely aimed at investigating the synergies of engineering-based techniques that include soft computing, artificial intelligence, and signal/image processing in advancing the sustainability technologies in the broader sense in order to partially meet the goals of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, along with others.

We welcome submissions which cover the vital role of engineering techniques in the advancement of the following areas:

• Sustainable construction;
• Renewable energy and green fuel;
• Water and air pollution;
• Climate predictions and control;
• Sustainable healthcare;
• Sustainable manufacturing .

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
