In recent decades, climate change has attracted widespread attention around the world as the world warms. With the advancement and development of science and technology, applying cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things, blockchain, virtual reality, and edge computing to the process of production, manufacturing, and operation can make an important contribution to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. To better understand the technical progress of low-carbon production, operation, and management, Two young professors Dr. Usharani Hareesh Govindarajan, and Professor Li Wenxiang from the Business School have successfully collaborated with Professor Rakesh D. Raut of the National Industrial Engineering Research Institute of India and Professor Yang Linchuan of Southwest Jiaotong University to set up a special issue Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) to mobilize high-quality research in low-carbon management.
IET Collaborative Intelligent Manufacturing (IET CIM) is an English-language international journal officially launched and published by the British Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET Digital Library) in January 2019. The founding editors are academicians Professor Shen Weiming and Professor Gao Liang. Three issues have been published in 2019, aiming to disseminate outstanding theoretical and applied research results in the field of collaborative intelligent manufacturing and promote the development of theories, methods, technologies, and applications in this field. In December 2019, IET CIM was included in EI Compendex and Scopus databases. In early April 2022, IET CIM was officially included in the ESCI database, and its international influence continued to increase.
This special issue aims to collect original research and review articles with profound theoretical, methodological and practical significance, focusing on new technologies and new theories of low-carbon production and operation, new data, new variables, new models, and new revelations. Additionally, this special issue is granted two waivers. This means that two separate accepted papers will have their APC waived in full. Authors are requested to specify that they would like to be considered for one of these APC waiver grants in the “indication of interest to submit a paper”. Further, a town hall-style discussion will be carried out in the coming months to improve visibility to researchers both inside and outside the school to actively contribute to the special issue.
