Thermodynamic Modeling and Materials Data Engineering

This volume discusses thermodynamic, structural, systemic and heuristic approaches to the modeling of complex materials behavior in condensed phases, both fluids and solids, in order to evaluate their potential applications. It was inspired by the Symposium on "Materials and Structural Properties" held during the 14th International CODATA Conference in Chambéry, France. Updated contributions inspired by Symposium discussions and selections from other CODATA workshops concerning material properties data and Computer Aided Design combine to highlight the complexity of material data issues on experimental, theoretical and simulation levels.
