Abstract

We present here the special issue of Physica D in honor of Boris Chirikov. It is based on the proceedings of the Conference "Classical Chaos and its Quantum Manifestations" held in Toulouse in July 1998. This electronic version contains the list of contributions, the introduction and the unformal conclusion. The introduction represents "X Chirikov Chaos Commandments" and reviews Chirikov's pioneering results in the field of classical and quantum chaos. The conclusion, written by P.M.Koch, gives an outlook on the development of the field of chaos associated with Chirikov, including the personal reminiscences of Professor Andy Sessler. This electronic version of the special issue has certain differences and extentions comparing to the journal.
