You can subscribe online here: http://www.ctcc.no/events/conferences/2015/numeric-conference/index.htm The conference focus is on real-space numerical methods applied to quantum chemistry. The venue will mainly take place on the MS Midnatsol ship fro Tromsoe to Kirkenes and back: the number of spots available is therefore strictly limited to 50 on a first-come first-served basis. Registration deadline: October 31st. With kind regards, Luca Frediani ============from the conference website======================= Traditional quantum chemical methods are being pushed to the limit of their capabilities due to the growing focus on high accuracy and large non-periodic systems. The need for innovative approaches is now manifest. Real-space numerical methods are a promising alternative: they are mathematically robust, very accurate and well suited for modern, massively parallel computing resources. However, they are still not a mainstream activity in quantum chemistry: their current computational overhead, their memory footprint and the lack of widely available software with standard features are among the challenges that need to be overcome. The goal of NMQC is to gather interdisciplinary scientific expertise to promote a fruitful exchange of ideas and spur progress in the development of this field. ============================================================== From owner-chemistry@ccl.net Mon Sep 8 08:58:00 2014 From: "Luca Frediani luca.frediani : uit.no" To: CCL Subject: CCL: NMQC 11-15 Jan 2015: A correction Message-Id: <-50482-140908085652-22344-tZCtUwPsqlQZnj1ezr5kaA . server.ccl.net> X-Original-From: "Luca Frediani" Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 08:56:51 -0400 Sent to CCL by: "Luca Frediani" [luca.frediani,,uit.no] Dear Colleagues, the link in my previous mail about the NMQC conference was broken.

The= workshop aims to bring together experts in model-based,

methods = and simulation practitioners, with the objective to
advance the s= tate of the art in model-driven simulation
engineering.

Model-driven engineering approaches provide considerable
advantages to software systems engineering activities through the
provision of consistent and coherent models at different
abstraction levels. As these models are in a machine readable
fo= rm, model-driven engineering approaches can also support the
expl= oitation of computing capabilities for model reuse,
programming c= ode generation, and model checking, for example.

these= systems can similarly benefit from model-driven approaches

quality, an= d reduce costs, development effort and time-to-market.
