Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The acoustic, optical, electrical, and magnetic signals in marine media are the most commonly used methods for detection, observation, and communication. Due to the significant spatiotemporal characteristics of the marine environment, the time-varying and spatiotemporal phenomena of the spatial signal field are very common. However, in order to reduce complexity and simplify computational models, linear and stable processing is usually required for the source, environment, target, beacon, and their interactions. Transforming nonlinear and asymmetric problems into quasi-linear or symmetric problems for resolution. However, due to the complexity of the marine environment and situation, how to adapt to changes in the environment and situation and achieve optimal detection and communication performance faces enormous challenges.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Underwater acoustics and acoustical oceanography;
  • Ocean sound propagation modeling and experiments;
  • Ocean noise and reverberation;
  • Underwater acoustic, light, electric, and magnetic communication and networking;
  • Signal processing;
  • Acoustic, light, electric, and magnetic modeling;
  • Signal detection and estimation;
  • Target tracking and recognition;
  • Design, development, testing and calibrations for radar and sonar sensor/array;
  • Underwater non-acoustic detection and communication;
  • Ocean acoustic observatories and ocean acoustic instruments, systems and platforms;
  • Multi-static sonar/radar detection;
  • Ocean acoustic observatories and ocean acoustic instruments, systems and platforms;
  • Target recognition.

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.
