Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A Native American proverb says “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children”. In the lieu of the proverb, according to 1987’s Brundtland Report of the United Nations (UN), sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. At the 2005 World Summit the UN incorporated three pillars of sustainability: its social, environmental, and economic aspects. In the sustainable development, computational research activities have focused on identifying, formalizing, and providing solutions to problems concerning the balancing of environmental, economic, and societal needs for a sustainable future. Due to the interlocking pieces across the domains that the sustainability covers, the challenges in the computational sustainability are scale, heterogeneity, interconnection, and human interaction with systems.
The special issue of “Computation and decision science for a sustainable future” encourages interdisciplinary research on the general sustainability themes: Balancing environmental and socioeconomic needs; sustainable communities; and affordable and clean energy. The issue covers broad computational and decision-making themes: optimization, dynamical models, simulation, and artificial intelligence.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
