The book series International Series in Operations Researchand Management
Science encompasses the various areas of operations research and management
science. Both theoretical and applied books are included. It describes current
advances anywhere intheworld thatareatthecuttingedgeofthefield.Theseries
is aimed especially at researchers, advanced graduate students, and sophisticated
practitioners.

Preface
Sustainability is being an important discipline for the society and governments, a
researchfieldthatrequirestheuseandapplicationinManagementScience(MS)and
Operations Research (OR). In this book, we introduce the topics of MS and OR
together with Sustainability. We start with basic concept and will present cases,
applications, theory, and potential future. The authors contribute chapters to the
booktocoveraswidearrayoftopicsasspacepermits.Examplesarefromrenewable
energy, smart industry, city, transportation, home and smart devices. We discuss
futureapplications,trends,andpotentialfutureofthisnewdiscipline.
This book is intended for professionals in the field of energy, engineering,
informationscience,mathematics,economics,andresearcherswhowishtodevelop
new skills in sustainability, or who employ the sustainability discipline as part of
their work. The authors of this volume describe their original work in the area or
provide material for cases and studies successfully applying the sustainability
disciplineinreal-lifecasesandtheoreticalapproaches.
