Sustainable engineering aims to provide frameworks that ensure development without compromising the quality of the natural environment and the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In this context, decision making processes must be enriched by approaches and tools that allow decision makers to consider a wide range of sustainable options. Recently, great progress has been taking place in the fields of operation research and management science, where intelligent quantitative analysis, statistics, and prediction analytics are employed in a variety of interdisciplinary research areas, aiming to assist policy makers and managers with the consideration of a variety of sustainable options. This Special Issue consists of a 17-paper collection with published approaches and models that are designed to give answers for environmental impact and sustainability assessment, risk and knowledge management assessment, lifecycle assessment and energy management. Five papers are dedicated to advances in different literature review topics. The remaining papers deal with a variety of engineering approaches to address decision making which involves: mulricriteria decision analysis, ecological footprint and biocapacity estimations, fuzzy prediction models, advanced statistical analysis, simulation, systems dynamics model, task ontology and integration definition function modeling.History of engineering and technologybicsscAHPanalytic hierarchical processAnalytical-Hierarchy-Processanthropogenic spatial entitiesbenchmarkingbuildingsbusiness strategycarbon flowcarrying capacityCO2 emissionsconstruction phaseconstruction projectsconstructionscorporate sustainabilitycrude stabilizationcrude-oildecision support systemsdecision-makingDMRAearned value analysisecological footprintEgyptenergy flowenergy policyenvironmental assessmentenvironmental sustainabilityFTAfuzzy AHPfuzzy estimatorsfuzzy numbersfuzzy TOPSISFuzzy-AHPGreecehazard identificationHAZOP studyhealthcare organizationshigher education institutionshospitalhydrogen sulfideimplicationsincident command systemindexintangible characteristicsknowledge creationknowledge managementlake eutrophicationlifecycle assessmentMCDMmethodsMonte Carlo simulationMoroccomulti-criteria analysismulti-criteria decision-makingnational parkoperability studyorganizational learningOSHperformance assessmentperformance evaluationperformance managementperformance measurementperformance of perspectives and indicatorsPRATprediction modelproblem-solvingprocess safetyquality of carequestionnairerecurrent embodied carbonregional sustainability assessmentrenewable energy sourcesrisk analysisrisk assessmentrisk managementrisk-matrixroad networksour gasstochastic analysisstrategic environmental assessmentstrategic environmental impact assessmentstrategysustainabilitysustainability aspectssustainability assessmentsustainability indicatorssustainable developmentsustainable healthcare supply chainsustainable knowledge managementsustainable miningSWOT analysissystem dynamicstask ontologytechniquestelecom technical projectsthreshold valuestime-seriesTypical-AHPvalidationHistory of engineering and technologyTsagarakis Konstantinos Pedt1328676Nikolaou IoannisedtVavatsikos Athanasios PedtKoulouriotis Dimitrios EedtTsagarakis Konstantinos PothNikolaou IoannisothVavatsikos Athanasios PothKoulouriotis Dimitrios EothBOOK9910557375803321Decision Support Systems and Knowledge Management for Sustainable Engineering3038810UNINA
