Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth witnessed in computer network users has led to the development of a technology where multiple computing devices can be connected, monitored, and managed simultaneously. The symmetry of this growth is related with exponential growth of users. The concept behind the development of such technology was to ensure better network services and features for the users. However, because of the limitations of network technologies and connectivity constraints, in the past, the concept was not feasible for implementation.
The terms Internets of Things (IoT) and smart city are often used to describe the concept in the computer networking industry where different smart devices are connected for sharing information. A smart device is an electronic device connected to a network through wireless technology. The smart device includes smartphones, smart cars, smart thermostats, smart doorbells, and smart speakers, etc. The term smart city relates to an urban area where different IoT devices are managed so as to collect data for intelligent analysis and forecasting. A smart city helps to improve the city infrastructure by collecting and using data.
The IoT and smart city concepts are gaining wider popularity in academia and industry. It is because of their flexible nature and efficiency. However, there are several issues related to the performance, efficiency, data collection, streaming, and analytics of the collected data. Apart from the applications, there are several research gaps pertaining to the IoT services, protocols, architectures, data behavior patterns, algorithms, and development etc.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers to share their research experiences, both theoretical and practical, in defining the issues, challenges, and proposed solutions to address IoT- and smart city-related developments and challenges. We are looking for contributions in the best interest of the IoT/smart city industry and research community. Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Symmetry in Data analytics and intelligent data processing for smart cities;
- Artificial intelligence for smart cities;
- Symmetry and Asymmetry in Big data, pattern behavior, and data analytics;
- Deep learning for IoTs;
- Symmetry based Algorithms, applications, architecture, and protocols;
- IoT and smart city for community services;
- IoT in education, surveillance, monitoring, and e-health services;
- Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Machine learning techniques for smart cities;
- Network challenges in IoT systems;
- Resource management for IoT systems;
- Security issues in smart cities;
- Asymmetrical Smart city and urban infrastructure development.

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).
