Scope of Symposium

The availability of advanced simulation tools which are sufficiently accurate to design and predict novel materials and processes is the key to achieve a quantum leap in the way new materials are developed. In order to fully understand the macroscopic properties of novel material systems, especially new nanomaterials, it is crucial to understand/simulate the properties and mechanisms on shorter length- and time-scales, even all the way to the most fundamental mechanisms describing the chemical bonds. Thus nanoscale modeling and simulation will become increasingly important in the design and study of new nanomaterials. This symposium will provide the ideal forum for computational materials scientists and engineers to showcase their latest endeavors in this broad and exciting field of computational materials design. The symposium will cover the design and development of all novel/refined material systems, including new nanomaterials. It will range from theory to application, for which computational tools have been deployed in the process. It will also encompass the hierarchy of simulation techniques, from first principle ab initio techniques to continuum approaches and multiscale techniques.
