Sustainable Green Design and Manufacturing Engineering and Automation, in short Sustainable Green Engineering represents one of the major challenges, as well as huge opportunities for all engineers in this century.
In terms of sustainable green engineering design and manufacturing we consider the following:
*An eco-friendly state, or process that can be maintained over time, for a very long time.
*The ability of an ecosystem to maintain ecological advanced design and manufacturing processes and functions, biological diversity, and productivity over time.
*Green sustainability encompasses the concept of meeting present design and manufacturing needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. In other words, the characteristic of green, sustainable advanced manufacturing is being able to coexist with another system indefinitely, without either system being damaged.
The sustainable green advanced design and manufacturing concept also emphasizes that the creation of wealth within the community considers the well-being of both the human as well as natural environments, and is focused on the more complex processes of development rather than on simple growth or accumulation only. This is because real value added growth happens when many aspects of human desire, drive and behavior, cultural / societal integrity, knowledge, science, as well as the necessary finances are all in place for a common goal...
Research papers in the following fields are most welcome:
*All aspects of energy management, and the modeling & control of energy management systems (i.e. energy management of raw material production, manufacturing processes, energy optimization of machines, robots, entire factories, warehouses, computer data centers and server silos, automobiles, and others)
*Machine and process optimization, development and test, using real-time health-check / green engineering monitoring systems
*Life Cycle Analysis and Life Cycle Management (LCA/LCM) of products and processes
*Automated robot systems and automation solutions for green engineering applications
*Asset management, asset utilization, and energy reduction / optimization
*Comprehensive greening frameworks and system analysis / design models for chartering and managing a green program in any organization
*Lean to sustainable green multi-variable optimization models, requirements and risk analysis models with uncertainty and fuzzy logic, and sustainability statistics
*Waste reduction at all levels of the enterprise
*Biodegradable materials for design and manufacturing, and ecology
*Green product, process and service system design and rapid prototyping, with digital design & digital manufacturing simulation
*Internet communication and collaboration to reduce travel time, cost, and the related carbon footprint
*Alternative energy sources for mobility (hence the term: 'green mobility')
*Efficient solar and wind power generators and their design and manufacturing processes
*Green product, process, factory and system auditing methods to find and eliminate / replace wasteful / toxic processes
*Statistical analysis methods to locate and change processes before they go out of control and become wasteful
*Industrial ecology and resource recovery approaches as a result of water scarcity, rising costs of water, tightening controls on various pollutant loads released to the planet, and the possibility for new discharge standards linked to various Trade Waste Reviews conducted in different countries
*Green engineering educational challenges and results
