Books for Systems-Level Practice
Sustainable Future Tech Publishing develops substantial technical and professional books for practitioners, researchers, educators, students, institutions, and leaders working with complex technological and societal systems. Our September 2026 publishing slate spans runtime governance engineering, secure AI, governance compilation, hybrid quantum systems engineering, and sustainable implementation.
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.
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
Foundations and Architecture: From Governance Intent to Controlled Execution
The foundational volume establishes Runtime Governance Engineering as a discipline for designing systems in which consequential actions remain subject to explicit authority, admissibility, governance state, controlled execution, and verifiable evidence.
Secure-by-Design AI
Operationalizing Security Through Deterministic Runtime Governance
A specialized treatment of how secure-by-design principles can move from policy and architectural intent into runtime control of AI-enabled and autonomous systems.
Runtime Governance Body of Knowledge
Knowledge Areas, Roles, Competencies, Assessment, and Assurance
The professional body of knowledge for Runtime Governance Engineering, organizing the discipline’s terminology, knowledge areas, practitioner roles, competencies, work products, assessment concepts, and assurance practices.
Governance Compilation
A Reference Model for Translating Human Governance into Machine-Evaluable Controls
A reference model for transforming human governance sources—such as policies, standards, rules, authorities, constraints, and obligations—into structured governance artifacts suitable for machine-evaluable runtime use.
Hybrid Quantum AI Systems Engineering
Classical–Quantum Models, Architectures, Explainability, and Deployment
A systems-engineering treatment of hybrid classical–quantum AI focused on architectures, workload decomposition, integration, orchestration, explainability, resource selection, testing, governance, and deployment.
Implementing Sustainable Living at Scale
A practical, cross-sector implementation reference for translating sustainability principles into durable delivery systems across communities, cities, campuses, institutions, and regions.
The book integrates energy, buildings, mobility, water, materials, land, digital infrastructure, governance, finance, justice, operations, and measurement into a portable systems-level implementation architecture.
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.
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.
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.
Runtime Governance Engineering — Textbook
A teaching-oriented treatment of Runtime Governance Engineering intended for structured university and professional education.
Illuminating Connections
A two-volume interdisciplinary textbook and curriculum initiative addressing relationships among technology, systems, society, sustainability, and human decision-making.
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.
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.
Publications Designed for Professional and Educational Use
Selected SFT Publishing books are intended to support professional education, university courses, institutional libraries, training programs, technical teams, research programs, and structured organizational learning.
Institutions may contact SFT regarding examination copies, course adoption, review copies, bulk purchasing, training bundles, instructor resources, and other appropriate uses.
Six Books. Three Major Domains. One Systems-Level Publishing Program.
The September 2026 slate brings together Sustainable Future Tech’s work in Runtime Governance Engineering, secure AI, hybrid quantum systems engineering, professional knowledge, governance compilation, and sustainability implementation. Additional publication, availability, and institutional-use information will be posted as the release approaches.
