5th International Summer School/Conference LET'S FACE CHAOS THROUGH NONLINEAR DYNAMICS Center for Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics CAMTP, University of Maribor, Slovenia 30 June - 14 July 2002

Dedicated to the 75th Birthday of Professor Hermann Haken

The organizers are particularly glad to have the chance of celebrating the 75th birthday of Professor Hermann Haken from University of Stuttgart, where he is working continuously since the beginning of his professorial scientific career. We feel deeply honoured by his attenting of our School and Conference, by the fact that he accepted our invitation to act as Honorary Director, along with the three other distinguished scientists and colleagues, namely Professors Giulio Casati of Como, Predrag Cvitanovic' of Atlanta and Siegfried Grossmann of Marburg. Our Schools/Conferences have been dignified by the presence of Professor Hermann Haken and his lecturing already since the year 1996 (3rd School/Conference), since the Schools/Conferences are taking place in Maribor. Professor Hermann Haken is the scientific and intellectual father of synergetics, and one of the initiators of the nonlinear science and of the physics of complex systems. His invaluable brilliant scientific contributions to this field of theoretical physics are of permanent value and are appreciated by all generations of scientists. We look forward to our gathering in Maribor 2002 to cheerfully celebrate Professor Hermann Haken's 75th Birthday on 12 July 2002 and to review his enormous scientific life opus and his current research work.
