The complexity of plasmas arises mainly from their inherent nonlinearity and far from equilibrium nature. The nonequilibrium behavior of plasmas is evident in the natural settings, for example, in the Earth's magnetosphere. Similarly, laboratory plasmas such as fusion bottles also have their fair share of complex behavior. Nonequilibrium phenomena are intimately connected with statistical dynamics and form one of the growing research areas in modern nonlinear physics. These studies encompass the ideas of self-organization, phase transition, critical phenomena, self-organized criticality and turbulence. This book presents studies of complexity in the context of nonequilibrium phenomena using theory, modeling, simulations, and experiments, both in the laboratory and in nature. TOC:Preface.- 1: Space Plasmas. Nonequilibrium Phenomena in the Earth's Magnetosphere: Phase Transition, Self-organized Criticality and Turbulence.- Complexity and Intermittent Turbulence in Space Plasmas.- Complexity and Topological Disorder in the Earth's Magnetotail Dynamics.- Simulation Study of SOC Dynamics in Driven Current Sheet Models.- Two State Transition Model of the Magnetosphere.- Global and Multiscale Phenomena of the Magnetosphere.- Low-Frequency Magnetic Fluctuations in the Plasma Sheet.- Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission: Cross-scale Exploration of Complexity in the Magnetosphere.- 2: Laboratory Plasmas. Perspectives of Intermittency in the Edge Turbulence of Fusion Devices.- Transition to Self-organized High Confinement States in Tokamak Plasmas: Transition to H-mode in tokamak plasmas.- Internal Transport Barriers in Magnetized Plasmas.- Characterization of Turbulence in terms of Probability Density Function: A New Approach to Describe Transport in Fusion Plasmas.- Phase Transition in Dusty Plasmas.- 3: Cross-disciplinary Studies. Precursors of Catastrophic Failures.- Multiscale Interactions and Predictability of the Indian Summer Monsoon. eBook PDF, Springer, 30.03.2006, Springer, 2006<
