Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of symmetry and asymmetry in automatic control plays a fundamental role in the design, stability, and performance of complex dynamic systems. Symmetry often simplifies control strategies, leading to predictable and well-balanced system responses, while asymmetry introduces variability that can enhance adaptability and robustness in uncertain environments. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advances in the modeling, analysis, and implementation of symmetric and asymmetric control approaches across diverse engineering applications.
We welcome submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Symmetric and asymmetric control strategies;
- Robust and adaptive control methods for asymmetric systems;
- Nonlinear and optimal control approaches;
- Fault-tolerant control in complex dynamic systems;
- Cyber-physical systems with asymmetric control constraints;
- Applications in robotics, aerospace, and industrial automation.
We encourage the submission of original research articles and review papers addressing theoretical developments, novel methodologies, and real-world case studies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
