This volume contains the proceedings of a workshop which was held
in Brussels during the month of August 1989. A strong motivation
for organizing this workshop was to bring together people who have
been involved in the microscopic simulation of phenomena occuring
on "large" space and time scales. Indeed, results obtained in the
last years by different groups tend to support the idea that
macroscopic behavior already appears in systems small enough so as
to be modelled by a collection of interacting particles on a
(super) computer. Such an approach is certainly desirable to study
situations where no satisfactory phenomenological theory is known
to hold, or where solutions of the equations are too hard to obtain
numerically. It is also interesting from a more fundamental point
of view, namely the investigation of the limits of validity of the
macroscopic description itself. The main technique used in bridging
the gap between the macro and micro worlds has been the molecular
dynamics simulations, that is the numerical solution of the
equations of motion of the model particles which constitute the
system under study, a gas, a liquid or even a solid. However, this
technique is by no means the only one.
