To be published in Frontiers of Engineering Management

Special Issue on Sustainability

Improvement of the quality of our future societies will depend on the knowledge needed for solving the problems of sustainable development. Therefore, the American Society of Engineering Management (ASEM) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) are collaborating on the creation of a special issue on Sustainability that will be published in Frontiers of Engineering Management (FEM).

The problems of sustainable development are complicated. There is a need to consider multidisciplinary issues of three categories: economic, ecological (environmental), and social sustainability. The challenges of sustainable development may include defining the critical metrics, justifying the collected data, balancing the metrics in these three categories, and making policies for international societies. The approach to these questions may need justification of accountability, predictability, balance ability, and policy-making for sustainable development of systems. Therefore, this special issue welcomes papers which include, but are not limited to, problem-solving of practical cases, exploration of innovative algorithms, and development of new ways of approaching these complex issues.

TENTATIVE TOPIC AREAS:

• Economic Sustainability
• Ecological Sustainability
• Social Sustainability
• Balance of Triple Bottom Line
• Zero waste
• Energy Systems
• Managing Sustainability for Large Scale Projects
