 MODELING AND INFORMATICS FOR NON-EXPERTS
 To be held at the 219th National American Chemical Society Meeting in San
 Francisco California, March 26-30, 2000
 Sponsored by the Division of Chemical Information (CINF)
 Computers were used to be available only to a small number of experts;
 today computers are a commodity.
 Internet were used to be accessible only by selected experts; today
 Internet is accessible by all.
 How does evolution of computational chemistry map to these paradigm
 changes?  Informatics and modeling tools that has only been available to
 information scientists and computational chemists are now being used by
 experimental chemists, medicinal chemists.  What are the consequence of
 this broadened use of computational tools?  What are the benefits or
 issues?
 If you have an opinion on this topic, or if you know of success stories or
 failures in this area, you may want to consider presenting your views in
 this symposium.  Please use the On-line Abstract System (OASys) to submit
