"Evolution of Dynamical Structures in Complex Systems" is dedicated
to the founder of synergetics, Hermann Haken, on the occasion of
his 65th birthday. This volume is an attempt to gather together and
review the new results and de velopments achieved by researchers
from various fields during the last few years. The contents bear
witness to the great success in the development of general
approaches to synergetic systems as well as remarkable progress in
the more tra ditional fields of synergetics such as lasers and
nonlinear optics, hydrodynamics, condensed matter physics, biology,
and sociology. Since their inception, the concepts of synergetics
and rigorous mathematical theories have been extended to other
scientific disciplines such as medicine, artifi cial intelligence
and synergetic computers, and psychology. Here too, these ideas
have yielded new insights, raised unexpected questions and produced
innovations in both theoretical and experimental projects. The
conception of self-organization, the central theme of Hermann
Haken' s scientific work, has stimulated epistemo logical studies
that draw relations between synergetics and the German romantic
"Naturphilosophie." It is fascinating to observe how these
intuitive notions of self-organization, etc., have now evolved into
a precise and holistic scientific comprehension of synergetic
systems. We express our deep gratitude to Dr. Angela Lahee from
Springer-Verlag for her valuable help during the preparation of
this book. Stuttgart R. Frjedrjch March 1992 .4.. Wunder}jn
