We are glad to invite you to participate in the Second Conference of the Asian Consortium for Computational Materials Science (ACCMS-2), which will be organized in Novosibirsk (Akademgorodok) Russia during July 14-16, 2004. The first conference ACCMS-1 was held in Bangalore, India in November 2001.
The Asian Consortium for Computational Materials Science (http://www-lab.imr.edu/~accms/) has been set up to nurture and promote research and developmental activities in computational materials science in Asian countries. Computational materials science has emerged as a distinct multidisciplinary branch of science whose relevance and importance has come from (a) the desire to have a microscopic understanding of complex materials and phenomena, (b) the need to design novel materials with a desired combination of physical, chemical and metallurgical properties, and (c) the possibility to describe the basic inter-atomic interactions in materials via appropriate quantum mechanical and statistical mechanical tools. With the unprecedented growth of computer power and the developments of efficient and smart algorithms and codes, it is now possible to do large scale simulations of real materials with increasing complexity. A synergy amongst a wide variety of disciplines such as physics, chemistry, metallurgy, geology, biology, computer science and information technology is gradually coming to a reality due to advances in computer simulations. The Conference will emphasize all aspects of computational materials science.
A personal invitation will be sent to any scientist requiring one in order to obtain a visa to attend the meeting.
ORGANIZER
The conference is organized by the Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS), Boreskov Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, Institute of Semiconductor Physics SB RAS, Kutateladze Institute of Thermal Physics SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia).
VENUE
The Conference will be held at the Novosibirsk Scientific Centre (Akademgorodok). The scientific program will start on Wednesday morning, July 14, and the last scientific session is scheduled on Friday evening, July 16.
LANGUAGE
English will be the official Conference language.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The deliberations of the ACCMS -2 will cover topics such as density functional theory-based methods, Monte Carlo and molecular and lattice dynamics simulations, tight-binding and effective medium approaches, order-N methods, mixed-basis methods, quasi-continuum approaches, quantum Monte Carlo, genetic algorithm, etc and their applications to different materials.
The Conference program will include Plenary Lectures, Invited Lectures, and Poster Presentations. A few short presentations will be selected from contributions to highlight hot topics and new developments.
AIDA-KAWAZOE PRIZE
Three Aida-Kawazoe prizes will be given for best paper presented in the Conference to encourage young researchers.
PUBLICATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of the Conference will be published. Participants should bring the manuscripts at the time of the Conference, which will be refereed.
