Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the development of active noise control (ANC) and acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) systems since they are used in various commercial applications. ANC systems are commonly found in the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as in headphones and hearing devices. In contrast, AEC systems are utilized in video conferencing systems, intelligent voice control devices, and mobile communication systems. Despite significant advancements, both technologies face similar challenges, particularly in practical applications. These challenges arise from symmetric and asymmetric problems related to sensor positioning, the characteristics of noise sources, the properties of acoustic environments, and the control algorithms, among other factors. This Special Issue invites submissions that focus on new applications, sensing techniques, algorithm development, system modelling, and hardware implementation aimed at enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of ANC and AEC systems.

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.
