This edited volume collects nine surveys that present the state-of-the-art in modeling, qualitative analysis, and simulation of active particles, focusing on specific applications in the natural sciences. As in the preceding Active Particles volumes, it blends diverse applications that demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the subject and the various mathematical tools available. Contributions were selected with the aim of covering a variety of viewpoints, from modeling the interactions in collective dynamics of animals and in population dynamics; through neural-networks, semi-supervised learning, and Monte Carlo methods in optimization; to kinetic and continuum theories with applications to aggregations and birth-and-death processes.  Mathematicians and other members of the scientific community interested in active matter and its many applications will find this volume to be a timely, authoritative, and valuable resource.

The International Conference on "Hyperbolic Problems: Theory, Numerics and Applications'''' was held in CalTech on March 25-30, 2002. The conference was the ninth meeting in the bi-annual international series which became one of the highest quality and most successful conference series in Applied mathematics. This volume contains more than 90 contributions presented in this conference, including plenary presentations by A. Bressan, P. Degond, R. LeVeque, T.-P. Liu, B. Perthame, C.-W. Shu, B. Sjögreen and S. Ukai. Reflecting the objective of series, the contributions in this volume keep the traditional blend of theory, numerics and applications. The Hyp2002 meeting placed a particular emphasize on fundamental theory and numerical analysis, on multi-scale analysis, modeling and simulations, and on geophysical applications and free boundary problems arising from materials science and multi-component fluid dynamics. The volume should appeal to researchers, students and practitioners with general interest in time-dependent problems governed by hyperbolic equations.
