Welcome Message

The 16th Discussion Meeting on Thermodynamics of Alloys (TOFA) will be held in Seoul, Korea from October 1 to October 5, 2018. Seoul was founded in 18 BC in the era of Three Kingdoms of Korea, and has been designated the capital from Joseon Dynasty. Thanks to rapid growth in IT technology, the city is now recognized as a smart historical city in the world. The conference venue is Korea University in the City Seoul.

¡°History is an unending dialogue between the present and the past¡± - English historian E.H. Carr

TOFA 2018 in Seoul will be a dialogue between the present and the past generations about ¡°Past, Present and Future of Thermodynamics¡±. Researcher, scientists and students working with thermodynamics of alloys are welcome to join this international conference.

Topics

TOFA is an international conference, providing opportunities for the worldwide thermodynamics community to meet, present and discuss their works. The aim of TOFA is to promote fundamental and practical aspects of the thermodynamics of alloys. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Review of Experimental Techniques: Past, Present and Future
  • Experimental and Theoretical Thermodynamics
  • Phase Diagrams
  • Computational Thermodynamics
  • Thermodynamic Properties derived from Ab Initio Calculations
  • Thermodynamics of Low-dimensional Systems (Surfaces and Interfaces, Nanomaterials)
  • Process Simulation using Thermodynamics
  • Industrial Applications of Thermodynamics
  • Future Creation based on Thermodynamic Studies (3D printing, Catalyst, ICME, etc.)

According to tradition, there will be no parallel sessions, and the conference will include both oral and poster sessions.
