at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on NON-EQUILIBRIUM COOPERATIVE
PHENOMENA IN PHYSICS AND RELATED FIELDS that was held at EL
ESCORIAL (MADRID), SPAIN, on August 1-11, 1983. Most nonlinear
problems in dissipative systems, i . e . , most mathematical models
in SYNERGETICS are highly trans disciplinary in practice and the
list of lecturers and participants at the ASI reflects this di
versi ty both in background and interest. The presentation of the
material fell into two main categories: tutopia~ Zectures on some
basic ideas and methods, both experimental and theoretical,
intended to lay a common base for all participants, and a series of
more specific lectures and seminars, serving the purpose of
exemplying selected but typical applications in their current state
of development. Topics were chosen for their basic interest as well
as for their potential for applications (laser, hydrodynamics,
liquid crystals, EHD, combustion, thermoelasticity, etc. ). We had
more seminars and some of the oral presentations were supported or
complemented with 16 mm films and on occasion with experimental
demonstrations including a special seminar, a social one on broken
symmetries in Art and Music. There is here no record of these
non-standard acti vi ties. We had, indeed, quite a heavy load for
