Symmetry in Control Systems Engineering
This special issue belongs to the section "F: Engineering and Materials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect contributions related to control systems engineering where symmetry properties can help in the design and analysis. Control and automation systems at different levels of automation hierarchy are among the present and the future drivers for continuous improvement in industrial and non-industrial processes. Both time-driven and event-driven (discrete event systems, DESs) formulations can help in the modelization of such processes. Continuous improvement can be targeted from different points of view, e.g., energy efficiency, process control and supervisory control. Theoretical and practical aspects will be considered in order to provide universal, robust and holistic solutions for researchers, engineers and practitioners. Both field and simulation applications are welcome, including process control, monitoring, supervision, optimization and modelling. Contributions focused on data analysis/symmetry relationships will be considered for the Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
