Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos : Where Do We Go from Here?.

Brings together theoreticians and experimentalists in nonlinear science to find an agenda for research directions of the future. Three themes have been selected: neural systems, spatially extended systems and pattern formation, applications to biology, physics and engineering.
