The interplay between nonlinear interactions and stochastic processes in the fields of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and system dynamics has recently produced an unexpected richness of complexity. The competition between order and chaos in open systems, stability and bifurcation in dynamical systems, and the ubiquitous appearance of deterministic chaos and strange attractors are all manifestations of this new field of activity.
