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 & technologybicsschigher education institutionssustainability assessmentbenchmarkingenergy flowcarbon flowsustainable developmentproblem-solvingincident command systemtask ontologyknowledge managementsustainable healthcare supply chainperformance measurementperformance of perspectives and indicatorssustainability aspectsintangible characteristicslifecycle assessmentrecurrent embodied carbonsystem dynamicsbuildingsCO2 emissionsconstruction phasestochastic analysisMonte Carlo simulationimplicationsfuzzy estimatorslake eutrophicationprediction modelcorporate sustainabilitybusiness strategydecision-makingdecision support systemsroad networksustainabilityanalytic hierarchical processcrude-oilsour gashydrogen sulfidecrude stabilizationhazard identificationHAZOP studyrisk analysisoperability studyprocess safetyrisk-matrixDMRAmulti-criteria decision-makingAnalytical-Hierarchy-ProcessTypical-AHPFuzzy-AHPindexsustainable miningthreshold valuessustainability indicatorsenvironmental sustainabilityenvironmental assessmentanthropogenic spatial entitiesknowledge creationhealthcare organizationshospitalorganizational learningsustainable knowledge managementstrategyvalidationquestionnairequality of carerenewable energy sourcesenergy policySWOT analysismulti-criteria analysisAHPfuzzy TOPSISMoroccoEgyptstrategic environmental assessmentstrategic environmental impact assessmentmethodstechniquesGreeceMCDMfuzzy AHPPRATFTAtime-seriesrisk assessmentOSHtelecom technical projectsconstructionscarrying capacityregional sustainability assessmentecological footprintnational parkrisk managementperformance assessmentperformance managementperformance evaluationearned value analysisconstruction projectsfuzzy numbersHistory of engineering & technologyTsagarakis Konstantinos Pedt1328676Nikolaou IoannisedtVavatsikos Athanasios PedtKoulouriotis Dimitrios EedtTsagarakis Konstantinos PothNikolaou IoannisothVavatsikos Athanasios PothKoulouriotis Dimitrios EothBOOK9910557375803321Decision Support Systems and Knowledge Management for Sustainable Engineering3038810UNINA
