The International Thermal Conductivity Conference was started in
1961 with the initiative of Mr. Charles F. Lucks, who passed away
on 8 July 1982 and to the memory of whom this volume is dedicated.
These Conferences on thermal conductivity grew out of the needs of
researchers in the field. The Conferences were held annu ally from
1961 to 1973 and have been held biennially since 1975 when our
Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis
(CINDAS) of Purdue University became the Permanent Sponsor of the
Conferences. These Conferences provide a broadly based forum for
researchers actively working on the thermal conduc tivity and
closely related properties to convene on a regular basis to
exchange their ideas and experiences and report their findings and
results. The Conferences have been self-perpetuating and are an
example of how a technical community with a common purpose can
transcend the invisible, artificial barriers between disciplines
and gather together in increasing numbers without the need of
national pub licity and continuing funding support, when they see
something worthwhile going on. It is believed that this series of
Conferences not only will grow stronger, but will set an example
for research ers in other fields on how to jointly attack their own
problem areas."
