The 2026 5th International Conference on Engineering Management and Information Science (EMIS 2026), held in Shenyang, China, from January 23 to 25, 2026, brought together scholars, experts, and practitioners from around the world to explore the rapidly evolving intersections of engineering management, information systems, digital society, and risk governance. In an era marked by accelerated digital transformation and the emergence of disruptive technologies, EMIS 2026 served as a dynamic platform for presenting cutting-edge research, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, and advancing innovative solutions to contemporary global challenges.

A central highlight of EMIS 2026 was the series of distinguished Keynote Speeches delivered by renowned international scholars. Assoc. Prof. Aslina Binti Baharum (Sunway University, Malaysia) delivered the keynote speech "When Algorithms Decide: Human Factors at the Heart of Digital Risk," offering a compelling examination of the human–technology interface and the critical role of human-centered design in algorithmic decision-making. Prof. Jiu Liu (Harbin Engineering University, China) presented "The Development of Nuclear Industry in China Aiming at Carbon Peaking and Neutrality: Value, Risks and Response of Law," providing a strategic and policy-oriented perspective on the legal, environmental, and societal implications of nuclear development in the context of national carbon goals. Prof. Yi Zeng Hsieh (National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan, China) delivered "From Forecasting to Autonomous Energy Orchestration: Transformer Driven and Generative AI–Empowered Smart Power Dispatch for Intelligent Buildings," offering an inspiring vision for the future of intelligent energy systems and demonstrating the transformative potential of AI enabled energy management.

In addition to the keynote presentations, EMIS 2026 featured a rich program of oral and poster sessions showcasing diverse research contributions. Topics ranged from transportation systems, digital cultural heritage, supply chain optimization, and human resource management to carbon emission analysis, intelligent logistics, and advanced engineering applications. These presentations reflected the breadth and depth of current research and highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of the challenges and opportunities facing modern engineering and digital societies.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all authors for submitting their valuable work and to the reviewers for their rigorous evaluations, which ensured the academic quality of these proceedings. We also express our heartfelt gratitude to the keynote speakers for sharing their visionary insights, and to all participants whose engagement and contributions enriched the intellectual atmosphere of the conference. Our special thanks go to the Organizing Committee, Technical Program Committee, and supporting staff for their dedication and meticulous efforts in planning and executing EMIS 2026.

We believe that the research presented in this volume represents meaningful advancements in engineering management, information science, and digital risk, and will serve as a valuable reference for scholars and practitioners alike. We look forward to continued collaboration and to future editions of EMIS, as we collectively advance knowledge, innovation, and sustainable development in these vital fields.
