Macroscopic physics provides us with a great variety of
pattern-forming systems displaying propagation phenomena, from
reactive fronts in combustion, to wavy structures in convection and
to shear flow instabilities in hydrodynamics. These proceedings
record progress in this rapidly expanding field. The contributions
have the following major themes: - The problems of velocity
selection and front morphology of propagating interfaces in
multiphase media, with emphasis on recent theoretical and
experimental results on dendritic crystal growth, Saffman-Taylor
fingering, directional solidification and chemical waves. - The
"unfolding" of large-scale, low-frequency behavior in weakly
confined homogeneous systems driven far from equilibrium, and more
specifically, the envelope approach to the mathematical description
of textures in different cases: steady cells, propagating waves,
structural defects, and phase instabilities. - The implications of
the presence of global downstream transport in open flows for the
nature, convective or absolute, of shear flow instabilities, with
applications to real boundary layer flows or shear layers, as
reported in contributions covering experimental situations of
fundamental and/or engineering interest.
