This volume contains most of the invited papers presented at the
International Work shop on Synergetics, Schloss E1mau, Bavaria, May
2 to.May 7, 1977. This workshop fol lowed an International
Symposium on SynergetiGS at Schloss E1mau, 1972, and an Inter
national SUl11l1erschoo1 at Erice, Sicily, 1974. Synergetics is a
rather new field of interdisciplinary research which studies the
self-organized behavior of systems leading to the formation of
structures and func tionings. Indeed the whole universe seems to be
organized, with pronounced structures starting from spiral galaxies
down to living cells. Furthermore, very many of the most
interesting phenomena occur in systems which are far from thermal
equilibrium. Synergetics in its present form focusses its attention
on those phenomena where dra matic changes occur on a macroscopic
scale. Here indeed Synergetics was able to re veal profound
analogies between systems in different disciplines ranging from
physics to sociology. This volume contains contributions from
various fields but the reader will easily discover their cOl11J1on
goal. Not only in the natural sciences but also in ecology,
sociology, and economy, man is confronted with the problems of
complex sys tems. The principles and analogies unearthed by
Synergetics will certainly be very he1pfu to cope with such
difficult problems. I use this opportunity to thank the
Vo1kswagenwerk Foundation for its support of the project
Synergetics and in particular for sponsoring the International
Workshop on Synergetics."
