Early in 1990 a scientific committee was formed for the purpose of organizing a high-level scientific meeting on Future Directions of Nonlinear Dynamics in Physical and Biological Systems, in honor of Alwyn Scott's 60th birthday (December 25, 1991). As preparations for the meeting proceeded, they were met with an unusually broad-scale and high level of enthusiasm on the part of the international nonlinear science community, resulting in a participation by 168 scientists from 23 different countries in the conference, which was held July 23 to August 1 1992. The contributions to this present volume have been grouped into the following chapters: (1) Integrability, solitons and coherent structures; (2) Nonlinear evolution equations and diffusive systems; (3) Chaotic and stochastic dynamics; (4) Classical and quantum lattices and fields; (5) Superconductivity and superconducting devices; (6) Nonlinear optics; (7) Davydov solitons and biomolecular dynamics; and (8) Biological systems and Neurophysics.
