The field of statistical physics has undergone a spectacular
development in recent years. The fundamentals of the subject have
advanced dynamically with multidisciplinary approaches involving
physicists, chemists and mathematicians. Equally spectacular has
been the development of applications of statistical mechanics to
shed light on a wide range of problems, many of them arising in
fields quite distant from traditional physics disciplines. Recent
applications range from such topics as oil recovery from porous
rock to protein folding, DNA structure, morphogenesis and the
cooperative behavior of living creatures. Concepts and methods of
statistical physics have been applied successfully to "exotic"
problems that seem to be far from physics, such as vehicular and
pedestrial traffic, or economy and finance. This book presents not
only the keynote invited talks, but a number of high quality,
interesting, contributed communications from senior scientists and
young students active in the field. Topics covered include DNA
migration, wetting, chemical waves, granular media, molecular
motors, biological pattern formation and motion, as well as
practical problems such as heart diagnosis, internet traffic
jamming, oil recovery and econophysics.
