This volume contains the proceedings of the U.S. Australia workshop
on Complex Interconnected Biological Systems held in Albany,
Western Australia January 1-5, 1989. The workshop was jointly
sponsored by the Department of Industry, Trade and Commerce
(Australia), and the Na tional Science Foundation (USA) under the
US-Australia agreement. Biological systems are typically hard to
study mathematically. This is particularly so in the case of
systems with strong interconnections, such as ecosystems or
networks of neurons. In the past few years there have been
substantial improvements in the mathematical tools available for
study ing complexity. Theoretical advances include substantially
improved un derstanding of the features of nonlinear systems that
lead to important behaviour patterns such as chaos. Practical
advances include improved modelling techniques, and deeper
understanding of complexity indicators such as fractal dimension.
Game theory is now playing an increasingly important role in under
standing and describing evolutionary processes in interconnected
systems. The strategies of individuals which affect each other's
fitness may be incor porated into models as parameters. Strategies
which have the property of evolutionary stabilty result from
particular parameter values which may be the main feature of living
determined using game theoretic methods. Since systems is that they
evolve, it seems appropriate that any model used to describe such
systems should have this feature as well. Evolutionary game theory
should lead the way in the development of such methods."
