Recent Advances and Applications of Forecasting and Evaluation Techniques in Energy, Environment and Economy Management

Dear Colleagues,

Energy has a basic and strategic position in the economic system, and the environmental impact determines the quality and mode of economic development. In this context, energy, environment, and economic system are closely linked together, making them a research hotspot in the field of system engineering. Meanwhile, system engineering theories and methods, such as system modeling, simulation, forecasting, control, optimization, evaluation, and decision, have been developed rapidly and widely applied in many research areas. Among them, forecasting and evaluation techniques play a crucial role in energy, environment and economic management, providing theoretical and practical support for decision analysis and policy making. As researchers and practitioners in the areas of systems engineering and energy, environment and economy management, we are asked to contribute to sustainable development by making the best use of forecasting and evaluation technologies against the current background of global environmental degradation and energy shortage. This Special Issue seeks to provide a forum for the discussion and analysis of energy, environmental, and economic issues around the world, and for the presentation of recent advances and application results. Contributions to this Special Issue can not only provide reference and support for solving challenges faced by energy, environment, and economic management, but also bring new knowledge and insights to system engineering theory and practice.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
