Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an era where sustainability and innovation converge, this Special Issue, “Advanced Technologies and Collaborative Approaches for Sustainable Engineering and Industrial Systems”, offers a platform to explore how cutting-edge technologies and collaborative methodologies can address the pressing challenges of modern engineering and industrial systems. This Special Issue seeks to showcase research that drives the development, management, and optimisation of efficient, resilient, and sustainable industrial processes.
Contributions addressing innovative technologies, methodologies, and practises related to engineering and industrial systems are highly encouraged. Submissions may explore diverse perspectives, including solutions that promote efficiency, resilience, and alignment with sustainability principles.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions that provide both theoretical perspectives and practical applications, offering value to those involved in the design, implementation, and management of sustainable industrial systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The development and application of innovative technologies to enhance efficiency and adaptability in industrial systems;
- Interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to optimise processes in engineering and production;
- The exploration of sustainable and adaptable solutions to meet the demands of emerging industrial challenges;
- Design and engineering strategies aimed at integrating emerging technologies;
- Advanced methods for analysis and optimisation to improve the efficiency and resilience of industrial systems.
This Special Issue invites original contributions that deliver significant advancements and innovative perspectives on sustainable engineering and industrial systems.
