Process Integration and Optimization for Sustainability

期刊简介：This journal is an interdisciplinary platform for information on innovation, research, development and demonstration in the areas of resource conservation, optimal use of various resources, analysis and optimization of various systems and processes, reduction and mitigation of environmental pollutions, and overall sustainable developments. It provides an international forum to researchers, policy makers, decision makers, managers, consultants, and planners to publish, learn, and discuss about various aspects related to Process Integration and Optimization. The breadth of coverage ranges from various optimization and system analysis methods (such as mathematical programming, pinch analysis, P-graphs, heuristics based approaches, decision analysis, fuzzy optimization, etc.) to applications, innovations, and methodological developments for resource conservation. This journal publishes the following types of contributions:Original research papers that propose novel methodologyReview articles providing surveys and critical appraisal of developments in a specific topic of interestShort communications describing initial research findings of potential significance, or substantive comments on previously published papersShort technical notes that focus on the implementation of established methodology (e.g., industrial case studies/success stories; software tools)PIOS does not accept experimental optimization papers based on statistical techniques, unless such results are integrated from a process system perspective.

【译文】这是一本跨学科的期刊，涵盖了资源保护、各种资源的优化利用、各种系统和过程的分析和优化、环境污染的减少和缓解以及整体可持续发展的信息。它为研究人员、政策制定者、决策者、管理者、顾问和规划师提供了一个国际论坛，用于发表、学习和讨论与过程集成和优化相关的各个方面。涵盖范围从各种优化和系统分析方法（如数学规划、 pinch 分析、P 图、启发式方法、决策分析、模糊优化等）到资源保护的 应用、创新和方法论发展。该期刊发表以下类型的贡献：提出新颖方法的原创研究论文；提供特定主题发展调查和批判性评估的综述文章；描述具有潜在重要性的初步研究发现的简报，或对已发表论文的实质性评论；专注于现有方法实施的简短技术笔记（例如，工业案例研究/成功故事；软件工具）。PIOS 不接受基于统计技术的实验优化论文，除非这些结果从过程系统角度整合。
