Technology for Smart Environments and Sustainable Futures

The Technology for Smart Environments and Sustainable Futures series explores how emerging digital technologies are reshaping the design, governance, and resilience of contemporary systems. As artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, the Internet of Things (IoT), immersive technologies, and intelligent infrastructures become embedded across sectors, they are transforming urban development, healthcare, education, industry, environmental management, and digital governance.

The series is structured around three thematic areas. Cybersecurity, digital governance, and responsible AI address secure system design, ethical AI deployment, data protection, regulatory frameworks, and digital trust in sustainable ecosystems. Games, immersive experiences, and the future of digital interaction examine extended reality, serious games, and human–computer interaction that foster meaningful and sustainability-oriented engagement. Technology clusters driving smart innovation and sustainability investigates the convergence of AI, IoT, edge and cloud computing, and green IT within smart infrastructures and innovation ecosystems.

The series promotes responsible digital transformation aligned with global sustainability agendas and Industry 5.0 principles by integrating technological depth with ethical, societal, and environmental considerations. The books in this series each combine scholarly rigour with applied insight, serving researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advanced students committed to building resilient and inclusive futures.

Scholars and practitioners are invited to submit book proposals that align with the series' scope and focus on the intersection of technology and sustainability.
