Highlights from IJCIEOM 2025

From June 23 to 25, 2025, the 31^st International Joint Conference of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJCIEOM) took place at the Polytech University of Bari (POLIBA), Italy. The main theme of the 31^st IJCIEOM was “Redesigning industrial systems towards a sustainable, resilient, and human-centric future in the digital era”. Among 17 special sessions, Prof. Antonella Petrillo and Prof. Fabio De Felice, from Parthenope University of Naples (UNIPARTHENOPE), Italy, with Prof. Valerio Salomon, from Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil, chaired the Special Session 12, titled “Analytic Hierarchy Process applied to circular economy, ESG, and sustainability”.

The 31^st IJCIEOM began on Monday afternoon, June 23. In a plenary session, the European School of Industrial Engineering & Management was founded. The ceremonial opening session was chaired by Prof. Francesco Paolo Sisto, Italian Deputy Minister of Justice.

The purpose of this call for papers is to collect a high-quality selection of papers presented at the ISAHP2024 virtual conference (https://www.isahp.org) that will take place Dec. 13-15, 2024. IJAHP is the official AHP/ANP scholarly, SCOPUS-indexed online journal (https://www.ijahp.org),  that publishes papers about research and applications of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP). The IJAHP journal will support the ISAHP2024 meeting by offering a fast-track¹ publication opportunity for suitable papers. Our intention is to publish these papers as early as possible and as soon as they are available, if accepted for publication, after completing the usual  rigorous review process. When an author submits a paper to our IJAHP site (https://www.ijahp.org), it should be formatted according to the journal requirements, explained in the author guidelines, and uploaded to IJAHP "Special Topics" (not "Articles" or "Essays"). Also, there is a "Comments to the Editor" place for  the author to indicate that the study was presented in ISAHP 2024.
