This special issue will include contributions from a wide range of topics in the theory of tessellations, with symmetry as the unifying theme. Specific areas to be covered are: plane tessellations; tilings in spherical, euclidean, or hyperbolic spaces of any dimension; space-filling polytopes, convex or nonconvex; lattice tilings, parallelohedra, and the geometry of numbers; tilings and crystallography; tilings and aperiodicity; tessellations on surfaces or manifolds; tessellations and groups; tessellations and art.
