This volume contains the best lectures from the Summer School Lectures volumes dealing with the theme of pattern formation. Topics include self-organization by simulated evolution, nonlinear dynamics of pattern formation in physics and biology, and the emergence of computational ecologies.
<p>During the past decade interest in the formation of complex disorderly patterns far from equilibrium has grown rapidly. This interest has been stimΒ ulated by the development of new approaches (based primarily on fractal geometry) to the quantitative description of complex structures, increased u
