β¦ Synopsis
A new noise generator using Cellular Automata (CA) is presented in this paper. Onedimensional linear CA produce pseudo-random binary sequences (PRBS) if they are exhaustive. Digital low-pass "ltering of the PRBS results in analog Gaussian noise with a spectrum that extends up to 5% of the PRBS frequency. The generator has been implemented using o!-theshelf HCMOS components and allows noise generation in the bandwidth [0}1 MHz]. Digitally generated noise possesses several advantages such as known spectrum and amplitude with adjustable bandwidth. Experimental results using the proposed technique are also presented.

A series of tests using cross correlation to measure the time delay between two signals generated by a noise generator based on a PC microcomputer are presented. Comparison is made with a commercial noise generator.
This special issue of Parallel Computing mainly presents papers from lectures given at the IFIP Workshop on Cellular Automata held at the castle of Rauischholzhausen (University of GieBen, Germany) March 25-27, 1996. Subsequent to a seminar at Dagstuhl Castle in March 1995, it was the second event o
