Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent times, fuzzy systems, intelligent systems utilizing artificial neural networks (ANNs), and their fusion, neuro-fuzzy systems have played vital roles in a wide range of applications, including automatic control, pattern recognition, decision analysis, human–machine interactions, affective computing, and symmetry analysis. These technologies, which were previously underutilized, now find a variety of applications, especially in sectors such as energy and agricultural systems, where symmetrical considerations can enhance efficiency and performance.
These advanced technologies are widely applied in managing uncertainties, forecasting demand, fault detection, and adaptively adjusting operations in energy systems, resulting in significant improvements in efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, often leveraging principles of symmetry for optimization. Additionally, they play a crucial role in agricultural systems, facilitating crop management, crop forecasting, environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, and optimization of agricultural practices through the lens of symmetry, promoting efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in these sectors.
Therefore, this Special Issue is open to receiving original research and review articles addressing all aspects related to symmetry analysis, fuzzy systems, artificial neural networks, and neuro-fuzzy systems applied in energy and agricultural systems, highlighting the importance of symmetry considerations in advancing these fields.

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.
