Symmetric and Asymmetric Data in Solution Models

Dear colleagues,

This Special Issue is intended to cover symmetric and asymmetric data occurring in real-life problems. Symmetry and structural regularity are essential concepts in many natural and man-made objects and play a crucial role in problem solutions. While the complexity and risks inherent in problem solution models, along with different indicators of success and failure, may contribute to the difficulties in their performance evaluation, multiple solutions generally exist. The existence of data asymmetry also causes difficulties when achieving an optimal solution. Therefore, various solution models can be proposed as an integrated tool to find a balance between components of sustainable global development, i.e., to find a symmetry axe with respect to goals, risks, and constraints to cope with complicated problems. We invite authors to submit their theoretical or experimental research presenting engineering and other problem solution models dealing with symmetry and asymmetry of different types of data.

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.
