Innovative Computing for Green Technologies aims to introduce the latest technologies and promote international collaborations across the scientific community and, eventually, the general public. It consists of 3 sections. Each section explores how technologies give real-time responses to current environmental, technological, social and economic challenges, which can be beneficial in reducing carbon emissions, improving resource utilization, promoting active engagement of citizens and a sustainable environment. Multi-layer provincial system of innovation is made up of digital networks, individual intellectual capital and the social capital of the city, which together constitute collective intelligence. Economic competitiveness and innovation achieved through the knowledge-based economy mark a city as intelligent, allowing it to generate a ‘spatial competitive advantage’ through industrial districts, regions and learning clusters supported by digital networks and artificial intelligence. A technophile will love this book as it presents the solution to face challenges and advanced concepts to make technology more feasible.

This book highlights the vital necessity for combining sustainable development processes from different areas, with applications in areas such as science, education and production sectors. These sectors have previously been separated by linguistic and technological barriers. Breaking down these barriers will allow an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary flow of information, leading to greater efficiency, and towards a more real resilient and sustainable economy development. This book fills in the gap in respect of publications addressing aspects of innovation and sustainable development and focuses on a range of areas, such as I. Gradual transition to innovative development; II. Continuity of technology in education, science and industry; III. Convergency directions, interdisciplinary relations in scientific research; IV. Digital technologies for sustainable development; V. Global trends and regional aspects of innovation and traditions in environmental management; VI. International legal regulations and environmental and economic relations among business communities. The publication fosters the global efforts towards taking better advantage of the many opportunities which innovation in specific areas may offer.

Key and enabling digital tools and solutions can boost the digital transformation of economies and societies and support achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The outcomes of digital innovation must be in line with responsible research and innovation. How can advanced information technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, edge computing, the next generation of the internet of things (NGIoT), IoT, machine learning, and robotics, create digital tools and solutions to build more resilient, climate-neutral, and green economies and societies? 5G, Artificial Intelligence, and Next Generation Internet of Things: Digital Innovation for Green and Sustainable Economies offers innovative conceptual frameworks and theories, case studies, and empirical studies to understand digital innovation and how digital and industrial technologies can accelerate the digital and green transition with multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary approaches. The book studies how digital tools and solutions can impact the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide, focusing on the Asian region. Featuring research on topics such as 5G, artificial intelligence, blockchain, circular economy, green economy, climate-neutral economy, human-centered approach, robotics, geographical focus, and methodologies, this book is ideally designed for academics, researchers, industry players, policymakers, students, academics, experts on IT, CEOs, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholders worldwide.

The aim of this edited book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges related to innovation for sustainability. Combining work from both emerging and established scholars in different academic fields, this book provides an integrated understanding of the topic from four perspectives. First, the big picture: frameworks, types, and drivers; second, strategy and leadership; third, measurement and assessment and fourth, tools, methods and technologies.
