NINTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS SCIENCE:
ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE THEORY AND SIMULATIONS
14 - 16 January 1999
(Miramare - Trieste, Italy)
This Workshop will follow the series started in Oxford (1983)
and continued in Braunschweig (1984) and in Trieste (1987, 1989, 1991,
1993, 1995 and 1997), formerly denominated "Total Energy". 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 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;
. Surfaces and other low-dimensional systems;
. Phase transitions;
. Polarizaion, fields and currents.
As in previous events of this series, the Workshop will consist of
invited talks with ample space devoted to discussion. In addition, there
will be one (or more) poster session(s).
This activity is co-sponsored by the Scuola Internazionale Superiore
di Studi Avanzati (SISSA), Trieste, Italy, and by the Department of
Theoretical Physics, University of Trieste, Italy.

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 1998. 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 will 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. Please
note, that there are no participation grants available for this Workshop.
Anyone wishing to participate must return the Registration Form as
indicated below.
As the activity will be conducted in English, participants should
have an adequate working knowledge of that 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 1998 (late registrations will be accepted
until 1 December 1998 only via e-mail or fax), to:
