Disordered and Complex Systems: London, United Kingdom, 10-14 July 2000Peter Sollich Casting a wide meaning for the terms disorder and complexity in order to gather researchers from many disciplines, the meeting covered glassy systems and neural networks, information geometry, quantum dynamics and quantum chaos, reaction-diffusion equations, and new directions in mathematical finance. The 50 papers include such discussions as the glassy dynamics of a two-dimensional non- disordered spin model, dualistic properties of the manifold of quantum states, applying the statistical mechanics of random matrices to disordered metals, steady states and long-time asymptotics of solutions of Steater's models, and scaling and multiscaling in financial markets.
