This volume serves as a general introduction to the state of the
art of quantitatively characterizing chaotic and turbulent
behavior. It is the outgrowth of an international workshop on
"Quantitative Measures of Dynamical Complexity and Chaos" held at
Bryn Mawr College, June 22-24, 1989. The workshop was co-sponsored
by the Naval Air Development Center in Warminster, PA and by the
NATO Scientific Affairs Programme through its special program on
Chaos and Complexity. Meetings on this subject have occurred
regularly since the NATO workshop held in June 1983 at Haverford
College only two kilometers distant from the site of this latest in
the series. At that first meeting, organized by J. Gollub and H.
Swinney, quantitative tests for nonlinear dynamics and chaotic
behavior were debated and promoted [1). In the six years since, the
methods for dimension, entropy and Lyapunov exponent calculations
have been applied in many disciplines and the procedures have been
refined. Since then it has been necessary to demonstrate
quantitatively that a signal is chaotic rather than it being
acceptable to observe that "it looks chaotic". Other related
meetings have included the Pecos River Ranch meeting in September
1985 of G. Mayer Kress [2) and the reflective and forward looking
gathering near Jerusalem organized by M. Shapiro and I. Procaccia
in December 1986 [3). This meeting was proof that interest in
measuring chaotic and turbulent signals is widespread.
