Abstract
Ilya Prigogine participated early in the organization of our meeting and was invited to give a keynote address. Due to poor health he was unable to attend and sent the following remarks, which were read by his close collaborator Gonzalo Ordonez. Dr. Ordonez has written the footnotes to the remarks and the text has been edited by him and Dean Driebe for inclusion in this volume. We deeply appreciate this contribution of the late Professor Prigogine and profoundly regret his passing, which occurred on May 28, 2003.
