New Approaches for System Identification Problems

Dear Colleagues,

System identification is the main framework in many important applications, e.g., acoustic echo cancellation, source separation, noise reduction, channel equalization, and machine learning. In numerous system identification problems, the unknown system can be modelled as a finite impulse response filter with a large number of coefficients, which raises additional challenges in terms of performance and complexity. Moreover, many of these systems may be time-variant; therefore, the impulse responses may change drastically over a short period of time. These aspects influence the overall performance of the global system. A natural approach is to exploit some specific characteristics of the systems to be identified, like intrinsic symmetric properties.

In this context, it would be of high interest to develop new techniques for the identification of such challenging systems. Research papers, as well as short communications and review articles comprising new approaches in this area are welcome in this Special Issue.  We would like to invite domestic and foreign experts to contribute with their research by employing the symmetry or asymmetry concepts in their methods and methodologies, including, but not limited to the areas listed below.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “New Approaches for System Identification Problems” via: MDPI submission system. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
