NTRODUCTION
THE development of modern steels depends on the increased understanding of the function of alloying elements in steels and in particular of their role in the phase transformations of austenite. That was an active field of research all through the 20th century, and toward the end of the century, there was a tendency among practitioners as well as sponsoring agencies to think that the understanding was sufficient for satisfying practical needs. In an effort to put this field back into focus, Hub Aaronson took the initiative to organize the GARY PURDY, University Professor Emeritus, and HATEM ZUROB, Associate Professor, are with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, McMaster University, West Hamilton, ON L8S 4L7, Canada.

first Phase Transformations in Materials (PTM) meeting in Pittsburgh in 1981. It was a great success and attracted an unexpected number of contributions. PTM conferences thus have been organized about every fifth year, the latest one in 2010 in Avignon. As the third millennium was approaching, a number of senior researchers in the field realized that they would soon have to leave the scene and started to worry about the future of the more basic research in their field of interest. It proved possible to attract interest from other groups in view of the fact that experimental and theoretical techniques had become so much more powerful over the last couple of decades that it seemed fruitful to return to this classical field. A series of annual meetings was started in the year 2000 as very informal gatherings in an attempt to stimulate such activities, primarily in the participants’ own groups but also in an attempt to demonstrate to colleagues the interesting research possibilities in this old field. Finally, the group decided to formalize these gatherings by adopting a name. In o
