Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Due to our usual daily works being highly linked with information and communication systems, it has become very important to recognize how these services influence our lives. In addition to new emerging technologies and services such as the metaverse, digital twin and remote education services due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the boundary between real world and virtual space has become obscure.
When it comes to recognizing the impact of the computerized services in our daily lives, we need to understand how the software, consisting of this service, is designed and implemented. In this situation, mathematical tools are essential for designing and evaluating the computerized services, symmetry being a basic concept of such a tool. For the design, implementation and evaluation of systems and services in the information and communication area, symmetry can be chosen as an essential and effective theory. This Special Issue is for all topics related to the deployment of symmetry-related mathematical tools for systems and services on information and communication technologies.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Symmetric and asymmetric cryptography for information and communication engineering;
- Security and privacy enhancement technologies based on symmetric/asymmetric ciphers;
- Network and security protocols using symmetric key algorithms;
- Symmetry in real-time rendering;
- Symmetry in modelling and simulation;
- Mathematical tools for modelling for information and communication services;
- DEVS-based information system design and implementation;
- Blockchain-based service model for modern information and communication services;
- Digital twin-based information and communication services;
- Software design and modelling for information and communication services;
- Metaverse-based information and communication services;
- Security and privacy models for information and communication systems;
- Information and communication service evaluation.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
