Advancing intelligent, sustainable, and secure engineering systems for future technologies

Abstrak

This editorial introduces Volume 41, Number 1, January 2026, of the Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (IJEECS), highlighting pivotal research trajectories expected to influence future progress in electrical engineering and computer science. Instead of covering all aspects of the field, this issue is structured around three strategic macroclusters: intelligent and sustainable engineering systems, AI-driven healthcare and human-centered technologies, and secure, comprehensible, and interconnected intelligent infrastructure. These themes show how artificial intelligence, sustainability, and security are coming together more and more in modern engineering applications. The editorial talks about how important intelligent energy systems, advanced control and hardware solutions, data-driven healthcare innovations, and reliable digital infrastructures are for solving global technological problems. This issue's contributions demonstrate IJEECS's dedication to publishing significant, cross-disciplinary research that bridges theory and practice. This issue of the journal makes it clear that it is a progressive platform that wants to promote smart, long-lasting, and safe technologies for the engineering systems of the future.
