International Conference, Beijing, China, 21-25 May 2001

The proceedings discuss the nonequilibrium and nonlinear dynamics in nuclear and other finite systems. The problems discussed cover different levels of the structure of matter, such as quarks, hadrons and nuclei, and outline different issues in the physics of elementary matter: cold valleys and fusion of superheavy nuclei - hypernuclei - antinuclei - correlation in the vacuum. The aim of the discussions is to probe some fundamentals of modern physics, for example, the coexistence of macroscopic and microscopic effects in association with various phase transitions, and the mutual relation between classical and quantum effects related with macro-level and micro-level variables. It will also be an invaluable reference work for the dynamics of evolution of matter and dynamic relations between different levels of nature.
