Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational intelligence is an important branch of artificial intelligence. Nowadays, evolutionary computation as a part of computational intelligence is widely used to solve various numerical problems and real-world engineering problems. Its application and development bring a great contribution to the optimization domain. Thus, it is of great interest to investigate the role and significance of evolutionary computation, metaheuristics, and nature-inspired algorithms in optimizing distinctive problems such as model symmetry/asymmetry, model architecture and hyperparameters, numerical functions, and industrial processing.
This Special Issue aims to bring together both experts and newcomers from either academia or industry to discuss new and existing issues concerning evolutionary computation and optimization. The research topics include single-objective optimization, multi-objective optimization, combinatorial optimization, and real-world problems, as well as industrial control, job-shop scheduling, pattern recognition, and computer vision. There is no limit on the number of pages, but the submissions must demonstrate an understanding of the theme and contribute to the specified topic.

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.
