The technical program will feature approximately 10 minisymposia covering the full spectrum of current rheological activity. In addition to the Bingham lecture, there will be plenary lectures; these will be given by Professors Ludwig Liebler (Joint Research Laboratory of CNRS/Elf Autochem, France) and Robert K. Prud’homme (Princeton University).
Given the dates of the International Congress this year and the improved efficiency provided by web-based abstract submissions, a full Call for Papers will not be published till the July 2000 issue of the Rheology Bulletin. The program organizers anticipate that web-based abstract submissions will be activated from September 1, with a final submission deadline of October 27, 2000.The winners of the 2000 Journal of Rheology Publication Award are D. J. Pine, Y. T. Hu, P. Boltenhagen, and E. Matthys. The award is based on parts I and II of "Shear thickening in low-concentration solutions of wormlike micelles," and it will be presented at the Hilton Head meeting in February 2001. Congratulations!
The site of the meeting, to be held October 21-25, 2001, is the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bethesda, MD. The hotel is just 2 miles from the Washington, DC border, near the National Institutes of Health. The hotel is situated directly above a stop on Washington's Metro subway system for convenient access to the Smithsonian Institution museums, the National Zoo, the White House, the Capitol, and the monuments around the National Mall. Admission is free to most of the federally operated locations, such as the Smithsonian Institution. There are also more than 100 restaurants within walking distance of the Hyatt Regency. October is peak tourist season in Washington, with an average high temperature of 69 °F and an average low temperature of 50 °F. For this reason, reservations at the Hyatt Regency should be made early; special room rates for the meeting are $149 for single occupancy and $169 for double occupancy.
The meeting location is convenient to all three of the airports that serve Washington, DC, with easy freeway access to Dulles International Airport (25 miles), Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport (35 miles), and Reagan Washington National Airport (15 miles). Reagan National Airport can also be reached with ease via the Metro subway system, since the Hyatt Regency sits directly above the Bethesda stop on the Red Line. There is also rail service connecting the Metro system and BWI airport.
The meeting coincides with the Centennial of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards), located 15 miles farther north in Gaithersburg, MD. Some connection between the meeting and Centennial events at NIST is planned. Additional information will be made available in the July Bulletin and on the Society web site.
Authors should submit an abstract after March 15, 2001, but before May 18, 2001 through the World Wide Web using the SoR abstract submission page at www0.rheology.org. The planned symposia and the corresponding chairs are given below. Where the name of only one chair is mentioned, the other name will be announced later.

Soft And Fragile Matter: Nonequilibrium Dynamics, Metastability And Flow
Edited by M. E. Cates and M. R. Evans
Institute of Physics Publishing, May 2000, 394 pages
Paperback, ISBN 0 7503 0724 2, $57 or 35 Sterling
The title of this book inspired thoughts of post party gray matter. It is an excellent book arriving at an appropriate time in a rapidly-developing area. The book addresses fundamental topics that cover a wide range of research areas. It results from the Fifty Third Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics in July 1999 and is the proceedings of that meeting. Unlike many texts of this type that suffer from being disjointed and being merely a compilation of chapters, this book has a coherence due to good editing and a focus on the fundamental unifying principles of the field. I found all the chapters to be of interest and believe them to be of relevance to the general rheology community. This is particularly so for those interested in the fundamental science behind the observed behavior in these fascinating systems. Each chapter is written with a straightforward introduction to the concepts and introduces the material in a readily accessible manner. Each of the chapters is self-contained and leads the reader from basic principles to a selection of the most recent and important developments in research in the area. The introductory sections are well written, and they clearly describe the physics associated with the phenomenon. The level is that of a graduate text which is suitable both as a reference text and for those wishing to obtain a general background in the field. The referencing of the chapters covers the areas well and includes colloids, polymers, surfactant phases, emulsions and granular media. The 15 lecturers are all recognized specialists in their field of discourse and this is apparent when reading the book.
The volume may be divided into three main sections as follows; the introductory chapter of "A day in the life of the hard-sphere suspension" followed by methodologies and phenomena of soft condensed matter (six chapters), modern concepts of non-equilibrium statistical physics (four chapters) and dynamics and metastability in colloidal and granular systems (four chapters). The list of chapters and authors is delineated as follows:
"A day in the life of the hard sphere suspension" by Wilson Poon. This chapter introduces the book in a very readable manner discussing non-equilibrium physics and soft matter, hard sphere colloids, metastabiliy, non-equilibrium dynamics and flow and fragility.
Chapter 2 by David Pine covers "Light scattering and rheology of complex fluids driven far from equilibrium". Following an excellent introduction to light scattering is a discourse on light scattering in shear flow and diffusing wave spectroscopy. The topics of shear thickening in wormlike micellar solutions, yielding and rearrangements in glassy emulsions are discussed with reference to recent results.
Chapter 3 covers "Polymer physics; from basic concepts to modern developments" by Alexei Khoklov. This chapter introduces the concepts of polymer physics in a very accessible and clear manner taking the fundamental concepts through to polyelectrolytes and AB copolymers.
Chapter 4: "Rheology of linear and branched polymers" by Tom McLeish has a thorough introduction to rheology relevant to polymers followed by a discussion of the Rouse model for entangled and reptating chains. The final discussion is of branched entangled polymers.
Chapter 5: "Introduction to colloidal systems" by Daan Frenkel introduces colloidal suspensions and the forces between colloidal particles leading into colloidal phase behavior, colloid dynamics, metastability and non-equilibrium dynamics. The discussion focuses on simulation data and theoretical interpretation of the phenomena.
Chapter 6: "Computer simulations in soft matter science" by Kurt Kremer introduces the concepts of molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. Polymer conformations and network structures are then discussed followed by a discussion of experimental data with reference to the theory.
Chapter 7: "Equilibrium and flow properties of surfactants in solution" by Didier Roux introduces surfactant systems and their phase behavior with the effect of shear on lyotropic lamellar phases and onion textures concluded with theoretical models of the onion texture.
Chapter 8: Alan Bray discusses "Coarsening dynamics of non-equilibrium phase transitions." The chapter deals with the dynamics of the transition from disordered to ordered phases. The focus is on nucleation and growth with particular reference to the Ising model.
Chapter 9: "Phase transitions in non-equilibrium systems" by David Mukamel begins with a description of thermal equilibrium properties through to non-equilibrium properties using symmetry, dimensionality and the range of interactions.
Chapter 10: "Supercooled liquids and glasses" by Walter Kob covers supercooled liquids and the glass transition with computer simulations, equilibrium relaxation dynamics and out-of-equilibrium dynamics.
Chapter 11: "Aging in glassy systems: new experiments, simple models and open questions" is covered by Jean-Phillipe Bouchaud where the different types of aging with reference to simple models is discussed.
Chapter 12: "Phase separation and aggregation in colloidal suspensions" by Henk Lekkerkerker introduces the topic from the Perrin and Ossager perspective with hard spheres, attractive potentials, colloid/polymer and colloid/colloid mixtures being discussed.
Chapter 13: "Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics of hard spheres: the role of gravity". Here Paul Chaikin covers the work undertaken in a NASA program to study the crystallization of hard sphere suspensions in microgravity where gravity is attributed to jamming the particles in a nonequilibrium state.
Chapter 14: "Granular materials: static properties as seen through experiments" by Sidney Nagel covers experiments performed to elucidate the structure of granular materials including force distributions, sound propagation and compaction and jamming.
Chapter 15: by Michael Cates on "Stress transmission in jammed and granular matter" introduces the simple model of jamming in colloids and discusses how this relates to fragille matter and fragility. The conclusions are drawn from the concept that granular matter may be viewed as a jammed state.
