SECOND CIRCULAR
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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 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.
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, and 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.
Akademgorodok is the capital of
Siberian Science and accounts for about a half of the Division’s research
potential (22 research institutes in natural, technical and social sciences).
Situated 30 km far from Novosibirsk city, it is a large industrial, scientific
and cultural centre of Russia, in the beautiful forest. Akademgorodok is an
interesting place not only for the scientific activities, but also for
leisure.
The Conference will be located in the House of Scientists in Novosibirsk
Scientific Centre.
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, 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.
