Editorial Introduction - Special issue - Dedicated to 3(rd) Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems - Dubrovnik, Croatia - 2005.

The 2005 Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, so-called EWE systems, has been devoted to the new trends in sustainability development. Among the papers presented at this Conference we have selected those which are representing the trend in this very challenging field of research. It becomes clear that sustainability science has become a new roadmap for the future of the knowledge society. EWE systems are life-supporting systems, which produce, transport and utilize different commodity sources. These are complex systems and their complexity is the internal property expressed as the wholeness property. This implies that complexity describes the essential characteristic of the EWE systems. Sustainability science as defined is a challenging attempt to focus the attention of the scientific community at large to dwell on basic knowledge in different fields and model them by their respective complexity to reveal a new understanding of the future of our planet. Sustainability metrics are designed to consolidate measures of economic, environmental and social performance of any system. They can be understood as a method for evaluation of the available knowledge about systems and their performance. In particular, the decision-making process for selection of the system under consideration must be based on the available knowledge. The link between knowledge and sustainability gives us a possibility to realize that the sustainability paradigm is an essential frame of the knowledge society. It is challenging for the future sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems to understand global, regional and local problems in the developed and developing world, so that we become able to focus our attention to those problems which are relevant for the future building of the knowledge society. In this respect the papers selected for inclusion in this special issue are an overview of the present state of art in the field. The papers selected for this Special Issue of ENERGY are focused on: ? Sustainability Science. ? Energy Strategy for Sustainable Development. ? Role of Computer Simulation in Sustainable Management of the Environment. ? Water Management for Sustainable Development. ? Cogeneration and Sustainable Development. The 2005 Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment System was held on June 7?10, 2005 in hotel Excelsior in Dubrovnik. One hundred thirty-four participants from 39 countries have attended the Conference. It was a privilege of the editors of this Special issue of ENERGY?The International Journal to have the possibility to select, based on second review, some of the conference papers for publication in this special issue. The selected papers reflect the state of the art in their particular area and focus on the sustainability aspect of the subject. The Guest Editors would like to use this opportunity to express their high appreciation to the authors and reviewers (listed below) for their assistance in preparing this issue.
