September 2026 Publishing Slate

Sustainable Future Tech Publishing is preparing six books for publication in September 2026.

Four comprise the initial published volumes of the Runtime Governance Engineering Series, establishing the foundations, secure-by-design application, professional body of knowledge, and governance-compilation model of the discipline.

The September slate also includes a systems-engineering treatment of hybrid classical–quantum AI and an implementation-focused book on sustainable living at scale.

Forthcoming September 2026

The September Catalog

Six books are scheduled for publication in September 2026, spanning Runtime Governance Engineering, secure AI, professional practice, governance compilation, hybrid quantum AI, and sustainability implementation.

Runtime Governance Engineering

Four Foundational Volumes Launching Together

The first four published volumes of the Runtime Governance Engineering Series are designed to establish a coherent progression from the discipline and its architecture to secure implementation, professional knowledge, and the compilation of governance into machine-evaluable controls.

Together, they provide complementary perspectives rather than four versions of the same material. Each volume has a distinct technical and professional role within the series.

Vol. 1
Foundations and Architecture
Vol. 2
Secure-by-Design AI Through Runtime Governance
Vol. 3
Professional Knowledge, Roles, Assessment & Assurance
Vol. 4
Governance Compilation

Additional Titles Beyond the September Slate

SFT Publishing maintains a broader book-development program. These projects are not included in the September 2026 forthcoming slate unless separately announced.

In Development

Governing Multi-Agent AI Estates

A future Runtime Governance Engineering volume focused on architecture, delegation, coordination, authority, and evidence across autonomous and multi-agent systems.

In Development

Runtime Governance Engineering — Textbook

A teaching-oriented treatment of Runtime Governance Engineering intended for structured university and professional education.

In Development

Illuminating Connections

A two-volume interdisciplinary textbook and curriculum initiative addressing relationships among technology, systems, society, sustainability, and human decision-making.

Publication Types

Different Knowledge Requires Different Forms

SFT Publishing develops each work according to its purpose, audience, intellectual structure, and intended professional or educational use.

Technical Monographs

Book-length treatments of an engineering discipline, architecture, research problem, or specialized technical subject.

Bodies of Knowledge

Structured references defining terminology, knowledge areas, competencies, professional roles, assessment, and practice.

Textbooks

Education-oriented books designed around progressive learning, course use, exercises, teaching, and institutional adoption.

Implementation References

Practitioner-focused works emphasizing architectures, methods, playbooks, stage gates, operating models, templates, and repeatable implementation.

Books & Technical Research

Research Creates the Foundation. Books Create the Structure.

Sustainable Future Tech also publishes technical papers, specifications, preprints, reference architectures, requirements, and DOI-backed research artifacts.

Those works preserve focused technical contributions and version history. Books perform a different role by integrating substantial bodies of knowledge into coherent, sustained treatments suitable for professional practice, education, and long-term reference.

Technical Publications

Research papers, specifications, architectures, requirements, technical reports, preprints, and implementation-oriented technical artifacts.

Books

Integrated treatments that establish progression, context, terminology, relationships among concepts, and sustained professional or educational utility.

Versioned Foundations

Supporting technical artifacts may continue to evolve independently of book editions and retain their own version, citation, and publication histories.

Universities & Institutions
