This book shows how, by
rather simple models, we can gain remarkable insights into the behavior of complex
systems. It is devoted to the discussion of functional self-organization in large
populations of interacting active elements. The possible forms of self-organization in
such systems range from coherent collective motions in the physical coordinate space to
the mutual synchronization of internal dynamics, the development of coherently operating
groups, the rise of hierarchical structures, and the emergence of dynamical networks. Such
processes play an important role in biological and social phenomena. The authors have
chosen a series of models from physics, biochemistry, biology, sociology and economics,
and will systematically discuss their general properties. The book addresses researchers
and graduate students in a variety of disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, biology and
the social sciences.
Keywords: Dynamical Chaos,
