Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Asymmetry has been found ubiquitously in nature, economics, or human–machine interactions. Asymmetric features of information are of great importance to study complex human behaviors in complex socioeconomic systems. For example, an imbalance between a sender and a receiver of the information can lead to communication failures in a variety of activities. Symmetry also plays a fundamental role in understanding human–system–environment interactions and applying the human-center design principles to various complex problems. Asymmetry can cause increasing uncertainty when managing human–machine interactions and lead to significant accidents or failures of design in complex systems.
For this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit their research on any aspects of asymmetry (or symmetry) that are critical to the description, modeling, analysis, or investigation of complex systems with a focus on human–machine interactions in the fields of human factors, ergonomics, safety, industrial sociology, applied psychology, cognitive engineering, and industrial engineering and management.

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.
