6^thWorkshop on Computational Chemistry and Its = Applications=20 (6^th CCA)
part of The = International Conference=20 on Computational Science
1 =96 3 = June, 2011,=20 Tsukuba, Japan
Workshop website: http://www.uom.ac.mu/Faculties/FOS/Chemistry/cca/<= /A>

Computational chemistry uses of = computers in=20 attempts to solve chemical problems. It uses theoretical = methods=20 implemented in software for computations. At the outset of the 21st = Century,=20 computational chemistry is leading to a wide range of possibilities = usually=20 interdisciplinary due to explosive increase in computer power and = software=20 capabilities. Computational chemistry is also integrating the chemistry=20 curriculum.

The objectives of this workshop are to = highlight=20 the latest scientific advances within the broad field of computational = chemistry=20 in academia, industry and society.
This workshop will provide the = opportunity=20 for researchers coming from corners of the world to be on a single = platform for=20 discussion, exchanging ideas and developing = collaborations.

It will also be a suitable platform = for=20 researchers from different fields to meet so that ideas for new=20 interdisciplinary research can emerge.
This will be the sixth = workshop after=20 being successful events in ICCS since 2003. This workshop will also be a = special=20 event as we will celebrate the International Year or Chemistry = (IYC=20 2011) and 100th = anniversary=20 of the Nobel Prize awarded to Madame Marie Curie.

This=20 workshop will consider only original work and the submissions will be = selected=20 after peer reviewing.
The=20 accepted full manuscripts will be published in = Procedia Computer Science. =20

Topics will = include aspects of=20 computational chemistry such as (but are not limited to):
(i) = Methods: Force=20 fields, semiempirical,ab initio, density functional theory
(ii) = Applications:=20 Kinetics, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, molecular properties, = conformational=20 analysis, thermodynamics, molecular dynamics
(iii) Research involving = computational chemistry
(iv) Computational chemistry in chemical=20 education
(v) Interdisciplinary computational research involving = chemistry is=20 specially invited

Prof Fumio Hirata will deliver the keynote = address=20 entitled "Theory of Molecular Recognition and iIt's Application to = Drug=20 Design".

Prof Fumio=20 Hirata is from Dept. of = Theoretical=20 Studies, Institute of Molecular Science, Myodaiji, Okazaki 444-8585,=20 Japan

Authors are invited to submit their=20 papers, written in English, of up to = 10 pages, presenting the results of = original research=20 or innovative practical applications relevant to the workshop=20 topics.

Papers should be prepared according to the = rules of=20 Procedia Computer=20 Science.=20

Formatting=20 information see for=20 text/latex and for=20 MSword.

Paper submissions should be done electronically,=20 using submission = system on page:
