SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This volume is based on an international school on "Scaling and Disordered Systems" organized by M R H Khajehpour, M R Kolahchi and M Sahimi. Despite the common theme, it covers fields as diverse as basic and applied percolation, and biological prey-predator and ageing simulations. The advantages of computer simulation thus become particularly clear in the reviews, which have been written by leading experts.
