5th Workshop
on Computational Chemistry and Its Applications (5th CCA)
part of The International Conference
on Computational Science
31 May – 2 June, 2010, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Workshop website: http://www.uom.ac.mu/Faculties/FOS/Chemistry/cca/
Computational chemistry makes uses of computers in attempts to solve chemical problems. It uses theoretical methods implemented in software for computations.
At the outset of the 21st Century, computational chemistry is leading to a wide range of possibilities usually interdisciplinary due to explosive increase in computer power and software capabilities. Computational chemistry is also finding its way in the chemistry curriculum.
The
objectives of this workshop are to highlight the latest scientific advances
within the broad field of computational chemistry in academia, industry and
society.
This
workshop will provide the opportunity for researchers coming from corners of
the world to be on a single platform for discussion, exchanging ideas and
developing collaborations.
It will also be a suitable platform for researchers
from different fields to meet so that ideas for new interdisciplinary
research can emerge.
This is the fifth workshop after being successful events in ICCS since 2003.
This workshop will consider only original work and the submissions will be selected after peer reviewing.
The accepted full manuscripts
will be published in Procedia Computer Science.
Topics will include aspects of computational
chemistry such as (but are not limited to):
(i) Methods: Semiempirical, force fields, ab initio,
density functional
(ii) Applications: Kinetics, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, molecular
properties, conformational analysis, thermodynamics
(iii) Research involving computational chemistry
(iv) Computational chemistry in chemistry education
(v) Interdisciplinary computational research involving chemistry is
specially invited
