Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue on "Symmetry/Asymmetry in Software Engineering" in Symmetry. Currently, modern AI-based applications and digital economy rely on software systems. Software engineering is challenged with fast changes in project objectives, constraints, or priorities and symmetry/asymmetry aspects should be given considerate focus in the life cycle of software engineering. This Special Issue aims to explore and investigate the role of symmetry and asymmetry in various aspects of software engineering. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their original research, case studies, and review articles to shed light on this fascinating and important topic.
Topics of Interest:
This Special Issue welcomes submissions on a wide range of topics related to symmetry and asymmetry in software engineering. Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Software quality assurance and metrics;
- Software project management and coordination;
- Software evolution, maintenance, and refactoring;
- Software analytics and data mining;
- Software design patterns and architectural styles;
- Machine learning and computational intelligence models in software engineering;
- Software testing and test case generation;
- Automated bug detection and classification;
- Machine learning for software defect prediction and quality assurance;
- Case studies and real-world applications of symmetry and asymmetry in software engineering.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
