Background The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC emphasizes that achieving the "Dual Carbon" goals (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality) is an inherent requirement for implementing new development philosophies, constructing a new development paradigm, and promoting high-quality development. The construction industry is a critical sector for realizing these goals and is currently undergoing a profound low-carbon transformation. Construction projects, involving multiple subsystems, diverse constraints, and dynamic interactions, exhibit typical characteristics of complex systems. Efficient resource allocation, operational optimization, and collaborative management under carbon emission constraints have become significant challenges for both academia and industry. Tools such as systems engineering methodologies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision-making play a pivotal role in the low-carbon and efficient management of these complex systems. To this end, the Journal of Systems & Management invites submissions for the workshop on "Systems Management Optimization of Complex Construction Projects under the 'Dual Carbon' Goals." Outstanding papers will be selected for publication in the regular issues.
Systems Management Optimization of Complex Construction Projects under the "Dual Carbon" Goals.
We welcome submissions utilizing methodologies such as mathematical modeling, empirical research, case studies, and simulation. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Theory and methodology for low-carbon construction system planning.
Intelligent decision-making and system optimization models.
Optimization of low-carbon supply chain management in construction engineering.
System optimization and carbon efficiency enhancement in operation and maintenance (O&M) phases.
Carbon market mechanism analysis and carbon trading optimization.
Systematic evaluation and optimization of carbon reduction policies.
Case studies and empirical research on the low-carbon transformation of engineering projects.
Submission Deadline: December 31, 2025.
Submissions must be original, unpublished research. Formatting should follow the submission requirements of the Journal of Systems & Management. Manuscripts should be at least 8,000 words, with 10,000 to 15,000 words being ideal.
The workshop will feature a blind peer-review process. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their research and receive guidance from invited experts.
The workshop is expected to be held online (time and platform to be announced). It will feature parallel sessions (15-min presentation + 10-min expert commentary). Following the workshop, the Guest Editorial Board will recommend outstanding papers for a Fast-Track Review process at the journal.
Papers selected for the fast-track process will undergo external peer review after revision. Those meeting the journal’s standards will be prioritized for publication in regular issues.
The Journal of Systems & Management reserves the right of first refusal for publication. Manuscripts with copyright disputes should not be submitted.
