Symmetry in Computing Theory and Application
This special issue belongs to the section “Computer“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the computer arts and sciences, symmetry has had a profound and lasting impact. Similarly, computational treatment of symmetry plays an important role in computational sciences. Computational symmetry refers to the practice of representing, detecting, and reasoning about symmetries on computers. The intentions are to care about the computational symmetry in computer science. Recent interest in computational symmetry for computer fields, such as cryptographic theories, computational complexity, graphics, video streaming, computing algorithms, image processing, and data-hiding applications, have shown promising results. Symmetry often makes the probabilistic analysis of randomized algorithms easier and simpler.
Recently, the study of the symmetry of algorithmic or computational aspects gives us an understanding of the nature of symmetry. We invite manuscripts on all aspects of symmetry in symmetric computing theories and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Network/security technology in symmetry
- Pattern recognition in symmetry
- Human interfaces in symmetry
- Image and video technology in symmetry
- Visual secret sharing and data hiding in symmetry
- Computing application in symmetry

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.
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.
