Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

“Symmetry” occurs in almost every discipline related to information technology and management. Its elements appear in many applications, including object recognition, engineering design, music composition, and market prediction. By using the properties of “symmetry”, intelligent systems such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber–Physical Systems (CPSs), artificial intelligence (AI), and deep metaheuristics can be made more efficient and effective. There has been considerable innovation in industrial technology and competitiveness between businesses in the last decade. This is partly due to the emergence of new technologies such as IoT, CPS, and deep learning, as well as self-media and the circular economy, and partly due to international trade protection, which constrains the development of global supply chains and regional free trade agreements. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight important trends in the use of symmetry/asymmetry in artificial intelligence and deep metaheuristics. We welcome original research and review articles on topics including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Symmetry/asymmetry in artificial intelligence;
  • Symmetry/asymmetry in deep metaheuristics;
  • Symmetry/asymmetry in mathematical programming;
  • Genuine symmetry/asymmetry algorithms;
  • IoT, CPS, AI, big data, and data mining to solve practical problems;
  • Artificial intelligence and deep metaheuristics in emerging industry;
  • Artificial intelligence and deep metaheuristics in the circular economy;
  • Artificial intelligence and deep metaheuristics in renewable energy;
  • Artificial intelligence and deep metaheuristics in sustainable development;
  • Artificial intelligence and deep metaheuristics in business, finance, economy, and tourism.

The intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) decision-making system needs to match tourist interests and search for the route with the lowest travel cost when recommending POIs (Points of Interest) and navigation tour routes. In response to this research objective, we construct a navigation route-planning model for tourism intelligent connected vehicles based on symmetrical spatial clustering and improved fruit fly optimization algorithm. Firstly, we construct the POI feature attribute clustering algorithm based on the spatial decision forest to achieve the optimal POI recommendation. Secondly, we construct the POI spatial attribute clustering algorithm based on the SA-AGNES (Spatial Accessibility-Agglomerative Nesting) to achieve the spatial modeling between POIs and ICV clusters. On the basis of POI feature attribute and spatial attribute, we construct the POI recommendation algorithm for the ICV navigation routes based on the attribute weights. On the basis of the recommended POIs, we construct the tourism ICV navigation route-planning model based on the improved fruit fly optimization algorithm. Experiments prove that the proposed algorithm can accurately output POIs that match tourists’ interests and needs, and find out the ICV navigation route with the lowest travel cost. Compared with the commonly used map route-planning methods and traditional route-searching algorithms, the proposed algorithm can reduce the travel costs by 15.22% at most, which can also effectively reduce the energy consumption of the ICV system, and improve the efficiency of sight-seeing and traveling for tourists.
