The International Scientific Conference on ‘'Management of Technologies - Step to Sustainable Production'' (MOTSP 2011) will take place in Bol, Island Brac from June 08-12, 2011.

MOTSP 2011 conference are an occasion for researchers, scientists, engineers, and technologist from a wide variety of fields to come together to share in their sinergy of management of technology and sustainable production.

With the climate having gone through drastic changes since the mid 20th century, it is critical to cut down greenhouse gas emissions to less than half of the current level to stabilize the climate. Inevitably, there will be accelerated increases in efforts that bring together the wisdom of international industrial and academic communities for the purpose of making shifts to sustainable living, including the establishment of sustainable production through the cyclical and multi-step use of resources hand-in-hand with a departure from dependence on scare resources, and the development of a zero-emission social infrastructure through promoting the use of renewable energy.

There are some of challenges which are very important for decision support in strategical and operative consideration some companies and goverment bodies. How can we include inside of product development requests of sustainable manufacturing (LCA, LCM)? How can we stimulate with proper knowledge and EU, CRO/SLO legislation 'green production'? How can we decrease possibility for location of 'dirty industry' and increase support of the community, media and increase of awareness of state structures. All of these facts are additional challenges in process of moving in EU and use EU funds. Papers run the gamut from highly technical subjects that involve both theory and practice to non-technical areas that include sustainability, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and law.

The conference theme for 2011 has been chosen as:

Description about the Special Issue:

Gender equality is nowadays a matter that concerns many countries. Despite the great effort made by governments and the progress of laws, gender discrimination still exists in family, social, cultural, political and economic spheres. Even today, it is rare to find women at the top level in companies, academia and other organizations. Knowing the situation of women (data) is of course a starting point for changing the situation. Designing and applying, at all levels, new policies that take into account gender issues in an appropriate way it is essential to reach equality at companies; for doing so, mainstreaming and interdisciplinary are two key points.

The purpose of this special issue is to bring together researchers and practitioners from a wide range of interdisciplinary areas such as management, industrial engineering, human resources, labor economics, psychology, sociology, gender studies and equal opportunities. The aim is to build the state of the art which should allow the development of new ideas regarding gender issues in industrial engineering and management.

Subject Coverage:

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:

Breaking the glass ceiling.
Equity in Human Resources policies and processes.

Description about the Special Issue:

Globalisation is one of the contextual factors most strongly influencing the way in which we understand and design today's business processes. It is a movement which also affects higher education, where national approaches are converging towards a set of models which are gradually taking root across our neighbouring countries.

It is our belief that there exists today a need to maintain an open debate as to the type of higher education most appropriate in order to develop the profession of Industrial Engineering, Operations Management and Industrial Management.

Related to this, various sources have propounded the advantages offered by considering a teamwork-based methodology with university students. On the one hand, it enables students to experiment and acquire the skills that they will need in their future jobs. On the other, teamwork used in a context of active methodologies provides deeper and more significant learning. In addition, positive effects have been shown on the academic performance of students, motivation and their attitudes towards learning. Some of these advantages have also been underscored by students, who consider group activities and active methodologies to be more interesting, entertaining and learning-facilitating than traditional teaching. Due to its advantages teamwork has been a major aspect of university teaching. However, although the majority of teachers propose group activities to their students, the question still remains as to what the best way is of organizing and handling student teamwork.

The aim of this special issue is to develop a clear definition of industrial engineering and industrial management higher education, not only in European context but in a global world. This can range from the professional profiles to be expected of those graduates, skills to be developed, methods to improve learning or assessment. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are encouraged. Only submissions of methodological and theoretical rigour will be considered.

Subject Coverage:

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:

Competencies and skills for Industrial Engineering, Operations Management or Industrial Management.
Difference from other forms of engineering higher education (mechanical, chemical, manufacturing...).
Industrial Engineering curriculum.
Assessment methods for the Industrial Engineering and Management competencies.
Applications and tools to improve university classes.
Active methodologies in engineering, operations or management education.
Collaborative learning in the higher education.
Barriers and enablers to use teamwork with university Industrial Engineering students.
Student workload in the new learning methodologies framework.
Teacher workload and other limitations.
Strategies for university lecturer training.

Description about the Special Issue:

Many business processes are so complex, interconnected and subject to variability. For those reasons, it is hard to understand the components evolution and interactions within the business processes without a dynamic model. Simulation and modeling approach is a good choice to predict processes performance, to compare alternatives and to establish the effect of several scenarios on performance. Moreover, if a process does not yet exist, or company is considering a new implementation, a simulation model can give a clue how well the proposed process will perform. In addition, process simulation and modeling is a growing and exciting research field.

The focus of this special issue is on bringing together researchers and practitioners from the areas of process management, computational intelligence, decision support, simulation and modeling. The technical objective is to exchange ideas and techniques from those areas as well as to establish a framework for the development of methodologies that integrate decision support, process management, technology, simulation and modeling. Consequently, papers that address these topics are especially sought.

Subject Coverage:

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:

Business process simulation.
Process optimization using simulation.
Dynamic Modeling.
UML/AUML modeling.
Multiagent-based simulation.
Computational Intelligence based simulation.
Discrete Event Simulation.
Simulation and modeling based risk analysis.
Supply Chain and logistics simulation and modeling.
Parallel and distributed simulation.
MultiParadigm simulation.
Case studies of process simulation.
Emerging or extended simulation tools.
