Synchronization is a universal phenomenon that is encountered in nature,
science and engineering. The book presents a broad view of modern
theoretical and experimental approaches to synchronization, especially
in complex and chaotic systems, and its applications in life sciences
and engineering. Contributors include applied mathematicians,
physicists, biologists, and specialists in communications and control
theory. The study of synchronization is presented in its many aspects:
basic mathematical theory, numerical simulation of complex systems,
applications of methods in theoretical physics, experimental
implementation, and applications in engineering and life sciences.
