The book consists of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Sustainable Design and Manufacturing (SDM 2024). Leading-edge research into sustainable design and manufacturing aims to enable the manufacturing industry to grow by adopting more advanced technologies and at the same time improve its sustainability by reducing its environmental impact. Relevant themes and topics include sustainable design, innovation and services; sustainable manufacturing processes and technology; sustainable manufacturing systems and enterprises; decision support for sustainability; and Industry 4.0 and Intelligent Manufacturing. Application areas are wide and varied. The book provides an excellent overview of the latest developments in the sustainable design and manufacturing area.

This book gathers selected papers presented at the KES International Symposium on Smart Transportation Systems (KES STS 2024). Modern transportation systems have undergone a rapid transformation in recent years, producing a range of technological innovations such as connected vehicles, self-driving cars, electric vehicles, Hyperloop, and even flying cars, and with them, fundamental changes in transport systems around the world. The book discusses current challenges, innovations, and breakthroughs in smart transportation systems, as well as transport infrastructure modeling, safety analysis, freeway operations, intersection analysis, and other related cutting-edge topics.

The volume includes papers presented at the International KES Conference on Human Centred Intelligent Systems 2024 (KES HCIS 2024), held in Madeira, Portugal on June 19–21, 2024. This book highlights new trends and challenges in intelligent systems, which play an important part in the digital transformation of many areas of science and practice. It includes papers offering a deeper understanding of the human-centred perspective on artificial intelligence, of intelligent value co-creation, ethics, value-oriented digital models, transparency, and intelligent digital architectures and engineering to support digital services and intelligent systems, the transformation of structures in digital businesses and intelligent systems based on human practices, as well as the study of interaction and the co-adaptation of humans and systems.
