The present volume includes most of the material of the invited
lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute
"Morphogenesis through the interplay of nonlinear chemical
instabilities and elastic active media" held from 2th to 14th July
2007 at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese (http:
//www.iesc.univ-corse.fr/), in Corsica (France). This traditional
place to organize Summer Schools and Workshops in a well equipped
secluded location at the border of the Mediterranean sea has, over
many years now, earned an increasing deserved reputation.
Non-linear dynamics of non equilibrium systems has worked its way
into a great number of fields and plays a key role in the
understanding of se- organization and emergence phenomena in
domains as diverse as chemical reactors, laser physics, fluid
dynamics, electronic devices and biological morphogenesis. In the
latter case, the viscoelastic properties of tissues are also known
to play a key role. The control and formulation of soft responsive
or "smart" materials has been a fast growing field of material
science, specially in the area of po- mer networks, due to their
growing applications in bio-science, chemical sensors, intelligent
microfluidic devices, ... . Nature is an important p- vider of
active materials whether at the level of tissues or at that of s-
cellular structures. As a consequence, the fundamental
understanding of the physical mechanisms at play in responsive
materials also shines light in the understanding of biological
artefacts."
