Complex Behaviour of Glassy Systems Proceedings of the XIV Sitges Conference Sitges, Barcelona, Spain, 10–14 June 1996
For the first time this subject, including many systems of interest in Condensed Matter Physics, is treated in an unified way. Complexity emerges as one of the main ingredients dictating the collective behaviour of many systems. Glassy systems constitute one of the most interesting fields of Condens...
