This is a volume about the life and power of ritual objects in their religious ritual settings. In this Special Issue, we see a wide range of contributions on material culture and ritual practices across religions. By focusing on the dynamic interrelations between objects, ritual, and belief, it explores how religion happens through symbolic materiality. The ritual objects presented in this volume include: masks worn in the Dogon dance; antique ecclesiastical silver objects carried around in festive processions and shown in shrines in the southern Andes; funerary photographs and films functioning as mnemonic objects for grieving children; a dented rock surface perceived to be the god's footprint in the archaic place of pilgrimage, Gaya (India); a recovered manual of rituals (from Xiapu county) for Mani, the founder of Manichaeism, juxtaposed to a Manichaean painting from southern China; sacred stories and related sacred stones in the Alor-Pantar archipelago, Indonesia; lotus symbolism, indicating immortalizing plants in the mythic traditions of Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia; lavishly illustrated variations of portrayals of Ravana, a Sinhalese god-king-demon; figurines made of cow dung sculptured by rural women in Rajasthan (India); and mythical artifacts called 'Apples of Eden' in a well-known interactive game series.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) represent major technology shifts that drive convergence between engineering and information technology. The rapidly growing wave of products require automation of heterogeneous CPS design flows that crosscut several discipline-oriented design verticals grounded in physical and information sciences. This new workshop will focus on co-design methods, horizontal integration platforms for domain-specific models and tools, and the incorporation of advanced data analytics tools in design flows for enabling and accelerating the advent of new design automation approaches that are both physical and computational. Topics will also cover initial results addressing the needs of the upcoming wave of autonomous systems incorporating learning-enabled components that demand a tighter integration of design-time methods and tools into operation, as well as novel verification methods given the intrinsic limitation of learning approaches when it comes to safety guarantees.
