We wish you all the best in the New Year  the year of FOMMS 2006!

We take this opportunity to remind you that the deadline for abstract submission is January 15.

3rd International Conference on the Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation (FOMMS 2006), Semiahmoo Resort, Blaine, WA, USA, July 9th - 14th, 2006

>>> Deadline for abstract submission January 15th 2006 <<<

The 3rd International Conference on the Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation (FOMMS), will be held July 9th - 14th, 2006, at Semiahmoo Resort (www.semiahmoo.com), in Blaine, WA, USA.  Like its predecessors (FOMMS 2000 and FOMMS 2003) FOMMS 2006 will be a scientific meeting balanced between the methods of quantum mechanics, atomistic simulation, mesoscale methods and beyond, with application areas in chemistry, biology, materials and their respective industries.  FOMMS is the only focused conference that brings together such a broad modeling community and emphasizes integration from the most fundamental level (electronic structure) through atomistic to meso- and macro-scale modeling.

Topics for the 2006 meeting are as follows:

  1. Multiple Time Scale & Mesoscale Methods
  2. Advances in Modeling & Simulation
  3. Nanoscience & Nanotechnology
  4. Biological Applications
  5. Reaction Engineering
  6. Educational Methods
  7. Polymeric Materials
  8. Future Vision

Invited speakers who have confirmed their participation include:
Mike Allen (U. Warwick), Jerry Bernholc (North Carolina State U.), Emily Carter (Princeton U.), Richard Catlow (Royal Institution), Thom Dunning (U. Illinois), Denis J. Evans (Australian National U.), Glenn H. Fredrickson (U. California - Santa Barbara), Shekhar Garde (Rensselaer Polytechnic U.), Carol Hall (North Carolina State U.), Warren Hehre (Wavefunction, Inc.), Shiaki Hyodo (Toyota Central R&D Laboratory), Gerhard Hummer (National Institutes of Health, USA)), Katsumi Kaneko (U. Chiba), Kurt Kremer (Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz), Mark Matsen (U. Reading), Vijay Pande (Stanford U.), Mark Ratner (Northwestern U.), Randy Snurr (Northwestern U.), Patricia Sparrell (ExxonMobil), Philippe Ungerer (Institut Franais du Ptrole), Rutger van Santen - Technische Universiteit Eindhoven), and Greg Voth (U. Utah).
