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. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aAHP 610 $aanalytic hierarchical process 610 $aAnalytical-Hierarchy-Process 610 $aanthropogenic spatial entities 610 $abenchmarking 610 $abuildings 610 $abusiness strategy 610 $acarbon flow 610 $acarrying capacity 610 $aCO2 emissions 610 $aconstruction phase 610 $aconstruction projects 610 $aconstructions 610 $acorporate sustainability 610 $acrude stabilization 610 $acrude-oil 610 $adecision support systems 610 $adecision-making 610 $aDMRA 610 $aearned value analysis 610 $aecological footprint 610 $aEgypt 610 $aenergy flow 610 $aenergy policy 610 $aenvironmental assessment 610 $aenvironmental sustainability 610 $aFTA 610 $afuzzy AHP 610 $afuzzy estimators 610 $afuzzy numbers 610 $afuzzy TOPSIS 610 $aFuzzy-AHP 610 $aGreece 610 $ahazard identification 610 $aHAZOP study 610 $ahealthcare organizations 610 $ahigher education institutions 610 $ahospital 610 $ahydrogen sulfide 610 $aimplications 610 $aincident command system 610 $aindex 610 $aintangible characteristics 610 $aknowledge creation 610 $aknowledge management 610 $alake eutrophication 610 $alifecycle assessment 610 $aMCDM 610 $amethods 610 $aMonte Carlo simulation 610 $aMorocco 610 $amulti-criteria analysis 610 $amulti-criteria decision-making 610 $anational park 610 $aoperability study 610 $aorganizational learning 610 $aOSH 610 $aperformance assessment 610 $aperformance evaluation 610 $aperformance management 610 $aperformance measurement 610 $aperformance of perspectives and indicators 610 $aPRAT 610 $aprediction model 610 $aproblem-solving 610 $aprocess safety 610 $aquality of care 610 $aquestionnaire 610 $arecurrent embodied carbon 610 $aregional sustainability assessment 610 $arenewable energy sources 610 $arisk analysis 610 $arisk assessment 610 $arisk management 610 $arisk-matrix 610 $aroad network 610 $asour gas 610 $astochastic analysis 610 $astrategic environmental assessment 610 $astrategic environmental impact assessment 610 $astrategy 610 $asustainability 610 $asustainability aspects 610 $asustainability assessment 610 $asustainability indicators 610 $asustainable development 610 $asustainable healthcare supply chain 610 $asustainable knowledge management 610 $asustainable mining 610 $aSWOT analysis 610 $asystem dynamics 610 $atask ontology 610 $atechniques 610 $atelecom technical projects 610 $athreshold values 610 $atime-series 610 $aTypical-AHP 610 $avalidation 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aTsagarakis$b Konstantinos P$4edt$01328676 702 $aNikolaou$b Ioannis$4edt 702 $aVavatsikos$b Athanasios P$4edt 702 $aKoulouriotis$b Dimitrios E$4edt 702 $aTsagarakis$b Konstantinos P$4oth 702 $aNikolaou$b Ioannis$4oth 702 $aVavatsikos$b Athanasios P$4oth 702 $aKoulouriotis$b Dimitrios E$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557375803321 996 $aDecision Support Systems and Knowledge Management for Sustainable Engineering$93038810 997 $aUNINA
