"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..

"Lasers and Synergetics," written to honour Hermann Haken on his 60th birthday, is concerned with the two main areas of research to which Prof. Haken has made fundamental contributions. In fact, the two areas are interrelated since the development of the interdisciplinary science synergetics has been closely connected with the emergence of laser theory. Synergetics deals with complex systems that possess the fundamental property of spontaneous selforganization of their macroscopic behaviour. The book summarizes basic ideas, important concepts and principles used to describe selforganizing systems from a unified viewpoint. Special attention is paid to lasers, nonlinear optics and to coherence phenomena in other physical, biological and sociological systems. Some surveys of historical developments are presented, but most space is devoted to the publication of recent results and the description of current research work.

Die Synergetik, die Lehre vom Zusammenwirken, wurde von einem von uns (Hermann Haken) im Jahre 1969 im Laufe einer Vorlesung an der Fakultat fur Physik an der Universitat Stuttgart gegrundet. Schon in den ersten Anfangen dieser neuen Wissen- schaftsdisziplin ist es gelungen, eine Vielzahl von renommierten Forschern fur die Problemstellungen dieses Gebietes zu inter- essieren. Der Anspruch der Synergetik namlich, interdisziplinar zu wirken, insbesondere auch Verbindungen zwischen Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften herzustellen, hat inzwischen, nicht nur un- ter Wissenschaftlern, zu ihrer besonderen Attraktivitat beigetra- gen. Dieses Buch ist einem wichtigen Teilaspekt der Wissen- schaftsdisziplin gewidmet, namlich den Anwendungen in der un- belebten Natur, der Forschungsdomane von Physik und Chemie. Aber auch neue Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Musterer- kennung durch Computer haben wir hier aufgenommen. Jedoch ist ein Folgeband geplant, der auch andere Aspekte der Synerge- tik abdecken will, insbesondere eben ihre Beziehung zu den gei- steswissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen. Mittlerweile ist eine ganze Serie von Buchern erschienen, die sich mit dem Thema Synergetik befassen. Vor allem handelt es sich dabei um Spezialliteratur. Es gibt jedoch ein popularwissen- schaftliches Buch "Erfolgsgeheimnisse der Natur", verfasst von einem von uns (H. H.), das die Synergetik ohne jegliche mathe- matische Formeln darlegt. Die "Bringschuld des Wissenschaft- lers", die Popularisierung neuer moderner wissenschaftlicher Er- kenntnisse, bot den Anlass zur Publikation dieses Buches.
