Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry plays a crucial role in computing algorithms and their applications, contributing to efficiency, aesthetics, and problem-solving in various domains. In algorithm design, symmetry often leads to elegant solutions that simplify complex problems, since it can help us find patterns and regularities in data and improve the efficiency and accuracy of algorithms. For example, sorting algorithms like Quicksort and Mergesort exploit symmetry to divide and conquer, reducing time complexity. Symmetric data structures, such as binary trees and balanced search trees, ensure efficient data retrieval and insertion. In addition to sorting algorithms, symmetry also appears in other types of algorithms. For example, some machine learning algorithms use symmetry to find patterns in data and classify or cluster similar objects. Symmetry can also help us find regularities in regular expressions and improve the efficiency of pattern-matching algorithms. Moreover, symmetry finds applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning, where it assists in feature extraction, dimensionality reduction, and data preprocessing. Recognizing symmetries in datasets can improve classification accuracy and reduce computational complexity. In summary, symmetry is a powerful concept in computing, with widespread applications across algorithms and various fields. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions focusing on novel models that can predict, detect, and adapt to symmetric solutions in complex mathematic programming. We particularly encourage research that explores the practical applications of these models and algorithms in solving industrial problems.
The focus of this Special Issue is to continue to advance research on topics relating to the Symmetry in Computing Algorithms and Applications. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):
- Symmetries of complex manufacturing systems;
- Artificial intelligence (AI) in production scheduling;
- Fuzzy computing;
- Data analytics for manufacturing;
- Cloud computing for manufacturing;
- Predictive maintenance;
- Real-time monitoring and control;
- Supply chain optimization;
- Computing applications;
- Smart decision support for industry.
