        Local correlation methods: From molecules to crystals
                            LCC2004
              September 9-11, 2004 - Torino, Italy

                              II CIRCULAR

                  Scope of the LCC2004 Workshop

 Local Correlation techniques permit the accurate and efficient
 evaluation of post-HF correlation corrections in large molecules. 
 Their adaptation for the solution of the same problem in 
 non-conducting periodic systems is straightforward in principle 
 but technically demanding. Implementation of local-MP2 the 
 simplest form of post-HF ab initio scheme, in connection with 
 the CRYSTAL program (CRYSCOR project) is currently at an advanced 
 stage, as the result of the collaboration between the Theoretical 
 Chemistry Group of the Torino University and scientists from 
 different Institutions (M. Sch|tz, C. Zicovich).
 The workshop is aimed to analyze the situation in this area of 
 research, to discuss computational strategies, to suggest new 
 developments, to propose applications and to promote new
collaborations. 
 It will comprise a number of invited contributions (see below), 
 panel discussions open to all participants, and a poster session.
