| Title | Modeling Complex Systems |
| Author(s) | Boccara, Nino |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2004. |
| Description | XII, 399 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book explores the process of modeling complex systems in the widest sense of that term, drawing on examples from such diverse fields as ecology, epidemiology, sociology, seismology, as well as economics. It also provides the mathematical tools for studying the dynamics of these systems. Boccara takes a carefully inductive approach in defining what it means for a system to be "complex" (and at the same time addresses the equally elusive concept of emergent properties). This is the first text on the subject to draw comprehensive conclusions from such a wide range of analogous phenomena |

| Title | Heterojunctions and Semiconductor Superlattices : Proceedings of the Winter School Les Houches, France, March 12???21, 1985 |
| Author(s) | Allan, Guy;Bastard, Gerals;Boccara, Nino;Lannoo, Michel;Voos, Michel |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1986. |
| Description | VIII, 254 p. 3 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The Winter School held in Les Houches on March 12-21, 1985 was devoted to Semiconductor Heterojunctions and Superlattices, a topic which is recognized as being now one of the most interesting and active fields in semiconductor physics. In fact, following the pioneering work of Esaki and Tsu in 1970, the study of these two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures has developed rapidly, both from the point of view of basic physics and of applications. For instance, modulation-doped heterojunctions are nowadays currently used to investigate the quantum Hall effect and to make very fast transistors. This book contains the lectures presented at this Winter School, showing in particular that many aspects of semiconductor heterojunctions and super?? lattices were treated, extending from the fabrication of these two-dimensional systems to their basic properties and applications in micro-and opto-electron?? ics. Among the subjects which were covered, one can quote as examples: molecular beam epitaxy and metallorganic chemical vapor deposition of semi?? conductor compounds; band structure of superlattices; properties of elec?? trons in heterojunctions, including the fractional quantum Hall effect; opti?? cal properties of two-dimensional heterostructures; quantum well lasers; and two-dimensional electron gas field effect transistors. It is clear that two-dimensional semiconductor systems are raising a great deal of interest in many industrial and university laboratories. From the number of applications which were received and from the reactions of the participants, it can certainly be asserted that this School corresponded to a need and came at the right time |

| Title | Propagation in Systems Far from Equilibrium : Proceedings of the Workshop, Les Houches, France, March 10???18, 1987 |
| Author(s) | Wesfreid, Jose E;Brand, Helmut R;Manneville, Paul;Albinet, Gilbert;Boccara, Nino |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1988. |
| Description | X, 425 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Macroscopic physics provides us with a great variety of pattern-forming systems displaying propagation phenomena, from reactive fronts in combustion, to wavy structures in convection and to shear flow instabilities in hydrodynamics. These proceedings record progress in this rapidly expanding field. The contributions have the following major themes: - The problems of velocity selection and front morphology of propagating interfaces in multiphase media, with emphasis on recent theoretical and experimental results on dendritic crystal growth, Saffman-Taylor fingering, directional solidification and chemical waves. - The "unfolding" of large-scale, low-frequency behavior in weakly confined homogeneous systems driven far from equilibrium, and more specifically, the envelope approach to the mathematical description of textures in different cases: steady cells, propagating waves, structural defects, and phase instabilities. - The implications of the presence of global downstream transport in open flows for the nature, convective or absolute, of shear flow instabilities, with applications to real boundary layer flows or shear layers, as reported in contributions covering experimental situations of fundamental and/or engineering interest |

| Title | Cellular Automata and Modeling of Complex Physical Systems : Proceedings of the Winter School, Les Houches, France, February 21???28, 1989 |
| Author(s) | Manneville, Paul;Boccara, Nino;Vichniac, Gerard Y;Bidaux, Roger |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1989. |
| Description | IX, 319 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Cellular automata are fully discrete dynamical systems with dynamical variables defined at the nodes of a lattice and taking values in a finite set. Application of a local transition rule at each lattice site generates the dynamics. The interpretation of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom in terms of lattice gases has received considerable attention recently due to the many applications of this approach, e.g. for simulating fluid flows under nearly realistic conditions, for modeling complex microscopic natural phenomena such as diffusion-reaction or catalysis, and for analysis of pattern-forming systems. The discussion in this book covers aspects of cellular automata theory related to general problems of information theory and statistical physics, lattice gas theory, direct applications, problems arising in the modeling of microscopic physical processes, complex macroscopic behavior (mostly in connection with turbulence), and the design of special-purpose computers |

| Title | Semiconductor Interfaces: Formation and Properties : Proceedings of the Workkshop, Les Houches, France February 24???March 6, 1987 |
| Author(s) | LeLay, Guy;Derrien, Jacques;Boccara, Nino |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1987. |
| Description | XI, 389 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The trend towards miniaturisation of microelectronic devices and the search for exotic new optoelectronic devices based on multilayers confer a crucial role on semiconductor interfaces. Great advances have recently been achieved in the elaboration of new thin film materials and in the characterization of their interfacial properties, down to the atomic scale, thanks to the development of sophisticated new techniques. This book is a collection of lectures that were given at the International Winter School on Semiconductor Interfaces: Formation and Properties held at the Centre de Physique des Rouches from 24 February to 6 March, 1987. The aim of this Winter School was to present a comprehensive review of this field, in particular of the materials and methods, and to formulate recom?? mendations for future research. The following topics are treated: (i) Interface formation. The key aspects of molecular beam epitaxy are emphasized, as well as the fabrication of artificially layered structures, strained layer superlattices and the tailoring of abrupt doping profiles. (ii) Fine characterization down to the atomic scale using recently devel?? oped, powerful techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, high reso?? lution transmission electron microscopy, glancing incidence x-ray diffraction, x-ray standing waves, surface extended x-ray absorption fine structure and surface extended energy-loss fine structure. (iii) Specific physical properties of the interfaces and their prospective applications in devices. We wish to thank warmly all the lecturers and participants, as well as the organizing committee, who made this Winter School a success |

| Title | Physics of Amphiphilic Layers : Proceedings of the Workshop, Les Houches, France February 10???19, 1987 |
| Author(s) | Meunier, Jacques;Langevin, Dominique;Boccara, Nino |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1987. |
| Description | XI, 399 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Amphiphilic layers play essential roles in the behaviour of a great variety of disperse systems such as micelles, microemulsions and vesicles. They can also exist as isolated mono- or bilayers, or constitute extended liquid crystalline structures. Although the properties of these different systems may at first sight seem unrelated, theoretical interpretations of them depend on several common concepts. This was the reason for bringing together scientists working in this area for the International Winter School on the Physics of Amphiphilic Layers, which was held at Les Houches, 10-18 February, 1987. The topics treated in the proceedings volume are mono- and bilayers, interactive forces between layers (with special emphasis on steric forces), ordered structures (in particular swollen lamellar phases and defects), vesicles, micelles (including polymer-like systems), microemulsions (especially random bicontinuous structures) and porous media. The importance of thermal fluctuations in the amphiphilic layers is stressed. Recent results are presented and literature references allow readers not familiar with the subject to find any background information they require |
