Abstract
The purpose of the present lectures is to discuss the emergence of structures from dissipative processes in macroscopic systems. This class of phenomena, generally studied by means of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, is quite different from solitons and other structures appearing in nonlinear Hamiltonian systems, which were covered by many lecturers at this school.
