Beschreibung:This volume contains most of the invited papers presented at the International Workshop on Synergetics, Schloss Elmau, Bavaria, May 2 to May 7, 1977. This workshop followed an International Symposium on Synergetics at Schloss Elmau, 1972, and an International Summerschool at Erice, Sicily, 1974. Synergetics is a rather new field of interdisciplinary research which studies the self-organized behavior of systems leading to the formation of structures and functionings. Indeed the whole universe seems to be organized, with pronounced structures starting from spiral galaxies down to living cells. Furthermore, very many of the most interesting phenomena occur in systems which are far from thermal equilibrium. Synergetics in its present form focusses its attention on those phenomena where dramatic changes occur on a macroscopic scale. Here indeed Synergetics was able to reveal profound analogies between systems in different disciplines ranging from physics to sociology. This volume contains contributions from various fields but the reader will easily discover their common goal. Not only in the natural sciences but also in ecology, sociology, and economy, man is confronted with the problems of complex systems. The principles and analogies unearthed by Synergetics will certainly be very helpful to cope with such difficult problems. I use this opportunity to thank the Volkswagenwerk Foundation for its support of the project Synergetics and in particular for sponsoring the International Workshop on Synergetics
