ECCC11 will be held April 2-30 2007, entirely on the Internet, at http://eccc.monmouth.edu. As with the previous ten ECCCs, ECCC11 has NO registration fee and is a completely virtual, online conference. The ECCC is a multidisciplinary, international conference and spans all aspects of computational and theoretical chemistry and materials science, as well as computational molecular biology, computational and theoretical molecular and atomic physics, visualization, cheminformatics, the history of computational chemistry, computational chemistry and education, and all related fields. Participants will be able to view the presentations and discuss them entirely through a web browser. The ECCC was originally developed by Steven Bachrach, who also organized the first five meetings. Abstracts for all contributions to ECCC11 will be peer-reviewed to insure novelty, scientific value, and appopriateness for inclusion in the conference. This peer review is directed by members of the ECCC11 Scientific Organizing Committee (SOC). The ECCC11 SOC members are: Olga Dmitrenko, University of Delaware (Co-Chair) Robert Topper, Monmouth University (Co-Chair) Noah W. Allen, University of North Carolina-Asheville (USA) Thomas R. Cundari, University of North Texas (USA) Walter M. F. Fabian, Karl-Franzens Universitt Graz (Austria) John McKelvey, McKelvey Computational Chemistry (USA) Sudhakar V. Pamidighantam, National Center for Supercomputing Applications (USA) Jens Spanget-Larsen, Roskilde University (Denmark) Following peer review of the abstracts and commencement of ECCC11, we plan to publish a virtual online booklet of the accepted abstracts online. All presentations must be made in HTML format and should be viewable with any web browser (PDF and unconverted PowerPoint presentations are not permitted). Ideally the authors will take full advantage of the interactive nature of the World-Wide Web (using animations, hyperactive molecules, etc. and including links to any necessary plug-ins) to present their findings and conclusions. Authors may choose to either serve their contributions > from their own local web site, or may request us to serve them from our own server. Uploaded contributions will be removed from our server at the end of ECCC11. As in the previous three conferences, a single weeklong "interactive" session will be part of the conference. This session will be held via asynchronous posting of questions to the conference site, which authors can choose to receive either at the site, at their personal email account, or both. All authors must commit to having at least one coauthor available to answer questions (i.e. by checking the discussion board at least once daily) during the "interactive" session to provide timely responses (within approximately 24 hours) to any questions that conferees may have about their online presentation. Outstanding presentations will be judged by the SOC and considered for special recognition based on their scientific merit and originality, and for high quality integration of multimedia techniques in the presentation. Important dates for ECCC11 are: December 1, 2006 - Registration (free) for ECCC11 begins January 28, 2007 - Abstracts must be submitted on the conference website March 23, 2007 - Accepted presentations must be online and URL submitted April 2, 2007 - ECCC11 begins April 16, 2007 - Interactive Session begins April 23, 2007 - Interactive Session ends April 30, 2007 - Last day of ECCC11 As mentioned above, all ECCC11 presentations must be in HTML format, with their layout and presentation at the discretion of the authors. We greatly look forward to your participation in ECCC11, and ask you to please encourage your colleagues and students to participate in what should be an excellent meeting! Thanks for your support, and best wishes to you from the ECCC11 Scientific Organizing Commitee. ************************* Robert Q.
