Current Trends in Comp. Chemistry !!



                        FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
                                                         May 14, 1997
 Dear Colleague:
 We are pleased to announce the sixth conference on Current Trends  in
 Computational Chemistry. This symposium, organized by Jackson State
 University, will cover all areas of computational chemistry as well as
 quantum chemistry. The local host of the conference is the US Army Corps
 of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (WES) in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
 The meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn of Vicksburg, Mississippi
 (40 miles west of Jackson) on November 7 and 8, 1997. The format consists
 of a series of plenary lectures and poster presentations on Friday and
 Saturday, covering applications as well as theory. In addition, a banquet
 is scheduled for Friday evening and a dinner and reception for Saturday
 evening.
 We are planning to publish extended abstracts (up to four pages each) of
 all invited talks and poster presentations. Original scientific contributions
 will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Molecular Structure
 (THEOCHEM). Manuscripts for inclusion in the special issue should be
 submitted in triplicate upon arrival at the registration desk. Submitted
 papers will be subject to the journal's standard referee  procedures.
 Sincerely,
 Jerzy Leszczynski
