6-8th September 1999
Second announcement
The UK's EPSRC CCP5 Annual Meeting will be held in the School of Chemistry at
The University of Birmingham from 6-8th September 1999.
The meeting will cover the traditional areas of CCP5, but with particular
emphasis on applications of Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics and related
techniques to the atomistic modelling and simulation of clusters (e.g. metallic
and van der Waals clusters) and a wide range of interfacial systems (e.g.
nanocolloids, micelles, liquid and solid surfaces, Langmuir films,
Langmuir-Blodgett films). The meeting
will consist of invited and contributed oral presentations and there will be a
poster session.
