This Project is the third biennial, international Gordon Conference on thermodynamics. It will be held 18-23 April, 1999, at Il Ciocco in Tuscany, Italy. The Conference sites oscillate between the U.S.A. and Europe, in large part because of the many scientists and engineers workingin this area in Europe. "Thermodynamics" is interpreted very broadly for the purposes of these meetings. The session topics will be:1. Energy analysis today and tomorrow;2. Engineering design;3. Thermodynamics of complexity;4. Thermodynamics of computation;5. Thermodynamics of phase change and phase equilibrium in small systems;6. Thermodynamic optimization in naturally organized systems;7. Quantum statistical mechanics and surface kinetics;8. Thermodynamics in economics.As of 2 April, 1999, 128 people had registered. Realistically, we do not expect this number because several have applied from Russia and will probably have insufficient funds to attend. However the expected set ofparticipants will include at least one Nobelist, many young scientists and representatives from at least 21 nations. The format will be that of traditional Gordon Conferences, with formal presentations in mornings and evenings, including time for considerable discussion, and informal discussion during the afternoons. Also in keeping with Gordon Conference regulations, there will be no formal conference proceedings or citations without explicit author's permission of work presented at the Conference.

本项目是第三届两年一度的国际热力学戈登会议。会议将于1999年4月18日至23日在意大利托斯卡纳的Ciocco举行。会议地点在美国和欧洲之间摇摆不定，这在很大程度上是因为欧洲有许多科学家和工程师在这一领域工作。为了这些会议的目的，“热力学”被解释得非常广泛。会议主题将是：1；1 .今天和明天的能源分析；工程设计;3。3 .热力学的复杂性；4 .计算热力学；5 .小系统相变与相平衡热力学；7.自然组织系统的热力学优化；7 .量子统计力学与表面动力学；经济学中的热力学。截至1999年4月2日，已有128人登记。实际上，我们预计不会有这个数字，因为有几个来自俄罗斯的申请，可能没有足够的资金参加。然而，预计的参与者将至少包括一位诺贝尔奖得主、许多年轻科学家和来自至少21个国家的代表。会议的形式将是传统的戈登会议，上午和晚上有正式的报告，包括大量的讨论时间，下午有非正式的讨论。此外，根据戈登会议的规定，在会议上提交的作品未经作者明确许可，将不会有正式的会议记录或引用。
