Decision Support Systems for Sustainable Computing (Cognitive Data Science in Sustainable Computing)

Decision Support Systems for Sustainable Computing investigates recent technological advances in decision support systems models designed to solve real world applications. The book provides a broad overview of digital technology transformation as applied to the circular economy, which is seeking to drive improvements in scientific research, communication, logistics, automation, production, and the improved sustainability of these processes and products. The book explores applications of decision support for sustainable development across supply chain management, business intelligence, agriculture, aviation, communications, and finance.

• Provides a broad overview of emerging trends and technologies in decision support systems applications
• Investigates recent trends and core concepts in digital technology transformation as applied to the circular economy and sustainable development
• Analyzes the application of decision support systems models across a range of case studies and processes which rely on multi-criteria decision-making and have been designed specifically to improve overall sustainability

Dr. Muhammet Deveci is an Associate Professor at the Department of Industrial Engineering in the Turkish Naval Academy, National Defense University, Istanbul, Turkey, and he is Honorary Senior Research Fellow with the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, University College London, UK. Dr. Deveci is also a Visiting Professor at Royal School of Mines in the Imperial College London, London, UK. He worked as a Visiting Researcher and Postdoctoral Researcher, in 2014-2015 and 2018–2019, respectively, with the School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, U.K. Dr Deveci is an outstanding researcher and has published over 240 papers in journals, as well as more than 25 contributions in International Conferences related to his areas. Dr. Deveci received the 100th-anniversary award for his worldwide scientific achievements from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).

Dr Deveci has also been engaged with the wider community providing academic service through chairing/organising conferences, streams, tutorials, reviewing papers, and acting as Editorial Board Member of journals including IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles (T-IV), IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence, Information Sciences, Applied Soft Computing, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and Artificial Intelligence Review.

Dr Deveci is an internationally recognized scientist in intelligent decision support systems underpinned by computational intelligence, particularly uncertainty handling, fuzzy systems, combinatorial optimization, and multicriteria decision making. His research and development activities are multidisciplinary and lie at the interface of operational research, computer science and artificial intelligence. He has been tackling challenging real-world problems without stripping off their complexities, including climate change, renewable energy, sustainable transport, and urban mobility.
