Overview

Modeling and simulation play a more and more important role in the design and study of new materials. This symposium aims to provide a forum for scientists and engineers who are involved in computational materials science to present and discuss latest development in computational methods related to materials science and their applications. The Symposium will cover the hierarchy of materials simulation, such as density functional theory based methods, Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics simulations, tight-binding and effective medium approaches, coarse graining and mesoscopic modeling, continuum and quasi-continuum approaches, etc. and their applications to different materials.

Manuscript Publication


Submission Deadline: 6 July 2007

All authors with accepted abstracts for Symposium O: Frontiers in Computational Materials Science, are invited to submit a full length paper for consideration for publication in the Symposium O Proceedings which will appear as refereed papers in a special volume of Computational Materials Science. The full papers will be refereed according to the high quality standards of the journal and hence will be subject to a strict selection process. Full papers submitted to but not presented at the Symposium will not be considered for publication.

How to submit

  • As an effort to get the Proceedings published as soon as possible after the conference, we strongly encourage all participants of Symposium O to submit their full paper through the ONLINE SYSTEM before the conference commences
    Manuscripts are to be submitted online using the same login ID you had used to submit your abstract earlier.
  • The absolute deadline for manuscript submission is the last day of the conference (6 July 2007).
  • No papers will be accepted after this date.

Manuscript can be submitted in any of the following three methods:

  • Submit softcopy of your manuscript online, which is preferred.
  • Bring with you to the conference three printed copies of your manuscripts (one original + two copies) on either A4 or 8.5×11 inch paper, single sided. You can leave your manuscript in the designated manuscript collection tray on the desk outside the meeting room of Symposium O.
  • If you wish to send your manuscript by post before the conference, please send it to:

    Professor Yuan Ping Feng
    Department of Physics
    National University of Singapore
    2 Science Drive 3
    Singapore 117542

    Please DO NOT submit your manuscript directly to the editorial office of the journal (use the online system at the ICMAT conference web site, not the one at the journal web site)!

    Manuscript preparation

  • Contributed manuscripts are limited to six printed journal pages in length, and those of invited speakers to eight pages.
  • Guidelines given by the journal should be strictly followed. Please refer to the journal website for details.

Enquiries
Authors are advised to contact the guest editors (Co-Chairs of the Symposium) first if they have any enquiries about their manuscripts.

POST CONFERENCE WORKSHOP – WIEN2K WORKSHOP (6 to 9 July 2007)


The WIEN2K workshop will be organized at the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), Singapore, from 6 to 9 July 2007, as a post conference workshop to ICMAT2007.

The WIEN2K program package is one of the most popular DFT codes in Computational Materials Science and enables calculation of electronic structure of solids with high precision. The WIEN2K workshop includes elementary and advanced tutorials on DFT, electronic structure calculations, magnetic, optical and transport properties as well as detailed introduction and hands-on exercises with the WIEN2K program.

The four-day workshop will focus on WIEN2K tutorials and exercises. In addition, there will be oral and poster presentations by the participants. The intended tutors for the workshop are: Prof. K. Schwarz, Prof. P. Blaha, Dr. R. Laskowski, Prof. P. Novak, Dr. G. Madsen, Prof. C. Ambrosch-Draxl.

NOTE:
ICMAT 2007 Participants can register for the workshop online, together with the conference registration.

Participants attending the workshop only can register by completing the WIEN2K Offline Registration Form and sending the cheque/bankdraft payment to the secretariat.

After 15 June 2007, registration for the workshop will have to be made in cash at the workshop venue.
