In recent years experimental and numerical studies have shown that
chaos is a widespread phenomenon throughout the biological
hierarchy ranging from simple enzyme reactions to ecosystems.
Although a coherent picture of the fundamental mechanisms
responsible for chaotic dynamics has started to appear it is not
yet clear what the implications of such dynamics are for biological
systems in general. In some systems it appears that chaotic
dynamics are associated with a pathological condi tion. In other
systems the pathological condition has regular periodic dynamics
whilst the normal non-pathological condition has chaotic dyna mics.
Since chaotic behaviour is so ubiquitous in nature and since the
phenomenon raises some fundamental questions about its implications
for biology it seemed timely to organize an interdisciplinary
meeting at which leading scientists could meet to exchange ideas,
to evaluate the current state of the field and to stipulate the
guidelines along which future research should be directed. The
present volume contains the contributions to the NATO Advanced
Research Workshop on "Chaos in Biological Systems" held at Dyffryn
House, St. Nicholas, Cardiff, U. K., December 8-12, 1986. At this
meeting 38 researchers with highly different backgrounds met to
present their latest results through lectures and posters and to
discuss the applica tions of non-linear techniques to problems of
common interest. . In spite of their involvement in the study of
chaotic dynamics for several years many of the participants met
here for the first time."
