Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites articles that promote research on resilience, sustainability, and/or human factors. Since emerging, contemporary, and smart technologies (including digital twins, AI, smart materials), which are energy-efficient yet computationally powerful, enable Industry 5.0, studies on the adoption and development of such technologies are invited. Nonetheless, it should be noted that Industry 5.0 is a value-driven notion, and less emphasis will be required on the technology itself. The Special Issue also invites submissions examining critical infrastructure that are necessary to develop resilient and sustainable systems and communities. We are also seeking submissions that focus on notions such as complexity reduction, systems interoperability, insight intelligence, digital transformation, and sustainable and human-centric industrial informatics, as well as other enablers of Industry 5.0. Additionally, systematic reviews and bibliometric analyses that outline research trends of Industry 5.0 will be considered. Submissions on the following topics are encouraged: the application of emerging technologies, e.g., digital twins for the realization of Industry 5.0; resilient infrastructure; systems research for the development of human-centric businesses and industries; resource-efficient and green technologies; smart manufacturing; systems for product life-cycle management; systemic circularity assessment; strategic and proactive engineering; sustainable business models and manufacturing systems; and systemic risk management.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
