This volume contains the invited lectures and a selection of the
contributed papers and posters of the workshop on "Fluctuations and
Sensitivity in Nonequil ibrium Systems", held at the Joe C.
Thompson Conference Center, Un i vers ity of Texas at Austin, March
12-16, 1984. The workshop dealt with stochastic phenomena and
sensi- tivity in nonequilibrium systems from a macroscopic point of
view. Durin9 the last few years it has been realized that the role
of fluctuations is far less trivial in systems far from equilibrium
than in systems under thermodynamic equilibrium condi- tions. It
was found that random fluctuations often are a determining factor
for the state adopted by macroscopic systems and cannot be regarded
as secondary effects of minor importance. Further, nonequilibrium
systems are also very sensitive to small systematic changes in
their environment. The main aims of the workshop were: i) to
provide scientists with an occasion to acquaint themselves with the
state of the art in fluctuation theory and sensitivity analysis;
ii) to provide a forum for the presentation of recent advances in
theory and experiment; iii) to bring toge- ther theoreticians and
experimentalists in order to delineate the major open problems and
to formulate strategies to tackle these problems. The organizing
committee of the workshop consisted of W. Horsthemke, O. K. Konde-
pudi, G. Dewel, G. Nicolis, I. Prigogine and L. Reichl.
