This Workshop will follow the series started in Oxford (1983) and continued
in Braunschweig (1984) and in Trieste (1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997
and 1999). Following the tradition of the previous meetings, the Workshop
will be devoted to recent advances in computational condensed matter
physics, based on realistic calculations of the electronic structure of
polyatomic systems.
The activity is hosted at the Abdus Salam International Centre for
Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy, and is co-sponsored by ICTP,
the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), and the Department
of Theoretical Physics, University of Trieste. Thanks to sponsorship from
the European Community, under the High-level Scientific Conferences
programme, a limited number of participation grants are available for young
European or Associated Nation participants.
The list of topics to be treated will include:
€ Density-functional molecular dynamics;
€ Large-scale electronic structure calculations;
€ Linear-scaling methods;
€ Density-functional theory beyond the local-density approximation;
€ Quantum Monte Carlo;
€ Many-body techniques for real materials;
€ Empirical tight-binding and effective medium theory;
€ Applications to:
€ Transition states and rates;
€ Chemical reactions in condensed phases;
€ Non-equilibrium and non-adiabatic processes;
€ Electron dynamics and excited states;
€ New materials;
€ Catalysis;
€ Geophysics;
€ Magnetism;
€ Nanoscience;
€ Surfaces and other low-dimensional systems;
€ Phase transitions;
€ Polarization, fields and currents.
As in previous events of this series, the Workshop will consist of invited
talks with ample space devoted to discussion. There will also be one
poster session.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED POSTERS
Abstracts must be submitted to the Workshop Secretary, at the address
indicated below. The deadline for contributed papers is 1 December 2000.
The recommended format for the abstracts (including title, authors and
abridged institutions) is 16 cm (wide) by 11 cm (high). LaTeX or PostScript
files are encouraged.
The poster boards are mt. 1.50 wide and 1.30 high. We have 96 poster
boards: we shall allocate only one of them per participant. Those wishing
to contribute with more than one poster must display them on a single board.
PARTICIPATION / REGISTRATION Participation is open to all scientists from
all member countries of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA. Registration
is cost free. As the activity will be conducted in English, participants
should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. All those
interested in attending should complete and return the Registration Form,
which may be found at the back of the Workshop Announcement, by 15
November 2000 (late registrations will be accepted until 1 December 2000
only via e-mail or fax), to:
