For six years the Complex Systems Summer School has contributed greatly to education and research into complex systems. 1993 Lectures in Complex Systems presents a wide array of topics in the field, including condensed matter dynamics, self-organized criticality, complex fluids, evolution, time series analysis, and neural models of perception. This book is a compilation of many of the lectures and contributions of the 1993 Complex Systems Summer School. The collective volumes in the Series ( Lectures in the Sciences of Complexity, 1989 Lectures in the Sciences of Complexity, 1990 Lectures in Complex Systems, 1991 Lectures in Complex Systems, 1992 Lectures in Complex Systems and now 1993 Lectures in Complex Systems ) comprise a growing, broad, interdisciplinary review of the many sciences of complexity—a review unavailable elsewhere.Lectures included in This Volume:S.N. Coopersmith: Complex Structures and Dynamics in Condensed Matter SystemsC.A. MacKen and P.F. Stadler: Evolution of Fitness LandscapesB.W. Mel: Information Processing in Dendritic TreesB.K. Sawhill: Self-Organized Criticality and Complexity TheoryO. Aporns: Neural Models of Perception and BehaviorR. Tagg: Instabilities and the Origin of Complexity in Fluid FlowsK.

Within the past five years, the international community has recognized that it may be possible, through programs of systematic study, to devise means to reduce and mitigate the occurrence of a variety of devastating natural hazards. Among these disasters are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and landslides. The importance of these studies is underscored by the fact that within fifty years, more than a third of the world’s population will live in seismically and volcanically active zones. The International Council of Scientific Unions, together with UNESCO and the World Bank, have therefore endorsed the 1990s as the International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR), and are planning a variety of programs to address problems related to the predictability and mitigation of these disasters, particularly in third-world countries. Parallel programs have begun in a number of U.S. agencies.

This book is out of a workshop organized to address questions like these. The meeting was sponsored by the Santa Fe Institute and held at Sol y Sam- bra in Santa Fe, New Mexico, during July, 1993. It brought together a group of about 20 scientists from the disciplines of biology, psychology, and computer science, all studying interactions between the evolution of populations and individuals’ adaptations in those populations, and all of whom make some use of computational tools in their work.
