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.

From the reviews: "The book provides an elementary introduction to the collective dynamics for researchers and graduate students in a variety of disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, biology and social sciences." (Zentralblatt MATH, 1011, 2003) "This book constitutes a reference of invaluable usefulness for all researchers interested in the study of collective phenomena. ... Moreover, each topic is presented in a form which, without neglecting all mathematical details, allows for an immediate understanding of its deep conceptual grounds ... . This book is highly recommended also because it contains discussions of some subjects which it would be difficult to find elsewhere." (E. Pessa, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2004 c)
