                           First Announcement

This third workshop is concerned with recent progress in density functional
calculations using the full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave
(FP-LAPW) method as embodied in the new WIEN97 code. This new software 
package will beome available at the workshop.

New features of WIEN97 package (with respect to WIEN95
==============================

  * graphical user interface (very user friendly)
     o  structure file generator
     o  automatic generation of "inst-file"  
     o  on-line help menue
     o  guided performance of tasks (band structure, density of states, 
           spectra, etc ...)
  * automatic generation of local rotation matrix
  * speed-up of code
  * iterative diagonalization
  * k-point parallelization (including heterogeneous workstation clusters)
  * spin-orbit coupling 
  * X-ray emission and absorption spectra
  * optical properties
  * automatic geometry optimization (using forces)
  * MD (limited molecular dynamics)
  * X-ray structure factors
  * new GGA potential (Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof 96)

Topics of workshop
==================

  * Introduction to the LAPW method
  * Concepts of the new WIEN97 version
  * Use of the new graphical user interface
  * Additional features in WIEN97
  * "hands-on" calculations with the new WIEN97 code
  * Results obtained by WIEN95/WIEN97 
      (including contributions from the participants)
  * Posters
