Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for presenting cutting-edge research that bridges the gap between fuzzy logic and its extensions in the practical application of symmetry across various domains, including fuzzy measures, fuzzy relations, fuzzy control, fuzzy logic and data mining/machine learning, fuzzy decision making, fuzzy modeling, and fuzzy information retrieval. In recent years, the integration of fuzzy logic with multi-criteria methods has gained traction, improving the robustness of results obtained by MCDM/MCDA models. However, traditional MCDM methods encounter bottlenecks in high-dimensional problems. Limited research has evaluated the effectiveness of LLMs in tackling specific MCDM problems where symmetry may be present. We wish to further explore the capability of LLMs by proposing approaches for automatically addressing general, complex MCDM problems. Submissions involving applications of fuzzy theory and/or its extensions—where symmetry, or a deliberate lack thereof, is present—are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
