In May 2002 a number of about 20 scientists from various
disciplines were invited by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of
Sciences and Humanities to participate in an interdisciplinary
workshop on structures and structure generating processes. The site
was the beautiful little castle of Blankensee, south of Berlin. The
disciplines represented ranged from mathematics and information
theory, over various ?elds of engineering, biochemistry and
biology, to the economic and social sciences. All participants
presented talks explaining the nature of structures considered in
their ?elds and the associated procedures of analysis. It soon
became evident that the study of structures is indeed a common c-
cern of virtually all disciplines. The motivation as well as the
methods of analysis, however, differ considerably. In engineering,
the generation of artifacts, such as infrastructures or
technological processes, are of primary interest. Frequently, the
analysis aims there at de?ning a simpli?ed mathematical model for
the optimization of the structures and the structure generating
processes. Mathematical or heuristic methods are applied, the
latter preferably of the type of biology based evolutionary
algorithms. On the other hand, setting up complex technical
structures is not pos- ble by such simpli?ed model calculations but
requires a different and less model but rather knowledge-based type
of approach, using empirical rules rather than formal equations. In
biochemistry, interest is frequently focussed on the structures of
molecules, such as proteins or ribonucleic acids. Again, optimal
structures can usually be de?ned.
