We invited authors to submit their theoretical or experimental research presenting engineering and economic problem solution models dealing with the symmetry or asymmetry of different types of information. The issue gained interest in the research community and received many submissions. After rigorous scientific evaluation by editors and reviewers, nine papers were accepted and published. The authors proposed different MADM and MODM solution models as integrated tools to find a balance between the components of sustainable global development, to find a symmetry axis concerning goals, risks, and constraints to cope with the complicated problems. Most approaches suggested decision models under uncertainty, combining the usual decision-making methods with interval-valued fuzzy or rough sets theory, also Z numbers. The application fields of the proposed models involved both problems of technological sciences and social sciences. The papers cover three essential areas: engineering, economy, and management. We hope that a summary of the Special Issue as provided here will encourage a detailed analysis of the papers included in the Printed Edition.History of engineering and technologybicssc2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers set (2TLNNSs)backward cloud transformationBayes' theoremBonferroni mean (BM) operatorcapital injectioncombining the weightscontrol systemcriteria weight assessmentcriteria weightsdata envelopment analysisdata loggerdual generalized Bonferroni mean (DGBM) operatordual generalized geometric Bonferroni mean (DGGBM) operatoreconomic decisionsengineering problemsevaluating the quality of distant coursesexcess-of-loss reinsuranceFAHPfull fuzzy environmentfuzzy efficiencyfuzzy setsgeneralized Bonferroni mean (GBM) operatorgreen supplier selectiongreen supply chain managementgroup decision-makinghybrid MCDMhybrid problem solution modelsIDOCRIWinformation theoryinterval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2FS)logisticsMCDMMCGDMmeasurementmulti-criteria decision-making (MCDM)multiple attribute decision making (MADM)multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM)neutrosophic numbersnonlinear dynamicsnormal cloudoptimal dividendoscillationspattern formationperformancepopulation sizesprobabilistic systems analysispublic managementPythagorean fuzzy setquadcopterresources distributionrough ARASrough setssalvage valuesensorstabilityStep-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA)subjective weightssymmetry of the methodthe criteria of the weightsthrusttransaction costtransportZ-numbersHistory of engineering and technologyAntuchevi?ien?
