1. Towards a Sustainable Resource Management : A Broader Systems Approach to Product Design and Waste Management
Abstract : Rapid economic growth, urbanisation and increasing population have caused (materially intensive) resource consumption to increase, and consequently the release of large amounts of waste to the environment. Numerous technological and operational approaches to resource management have been introduced throughout the system of production, consumption and waste management. READ MORE

3. Industrial Ecology Approaches to Improve Metal Management : Three Modeling Experiments
Abstract : A linear model of consumption − produce-use-dispose − has constantly increased the pressure on the environment in recent decades. There has been a great belief that technology will solve the problem, but in many cases it is only partly contributing to the solution. For a full solution, the root causes of problems need to be identified. READ MORE

5. Collaborative, Intelligent, and Adaptive Systems for the Low-Power Internet of Things
Abstract : With the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), more and more devices are getting equipped with communication capabilities, often via wireless radios. Their deployments pave the way for new and mission-critical applications: cars will communicate with nearby vehicles to coordinate at intersections; industrial wireless closed-loop systems will improve operational safety in factories; while swarms of drones will coordinate to plan collision-free trajectories.
