Fourth International Conference Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation FOMMS 2009 Foundations for Innovation Semiahmoo Resort, Blaine, WA, USA July 12 -16, 2009 http://fomms.org Presented by: CACHE Corporation and the Computational Molecular Science & Engineering Forum of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers FOMMS 2009 is the 4th international conference showcasing applications and theory of computational quantum chemistry, molecular science, and engineering simulation. It is motivated by the continual need for precise prediction and control of materials properties and the fundamental, molecular-level understanding of chemical processes that allow the efficient creation of new products to meet specific market demands. Theoretical and algorithmic advances and modern computing technology allow companies to capture value and truly sustainable, far-reaching competitive advantage. The future for these methods is bright as they continue to prove their value to the chemical and chemical-related industries. The conference will explore these issues in the same format as the three previous highly successful FOMMS meetings held in 2000, 2003, and 2006. What's new this time? - Focus on foundations and applications - Afternoon and evening workshop on special topics like open source code development and interoperability, and new multicore processors and gpus - Founder's Medal & lecture, followed by banquet - Ending on Thursday night after banquet FOMMS 2009 is a scientific modeling meeting balanced between molecular simulation and computational chemistry. All talks are invited and represent the state-of-the-art in the particular special topic areas. Two poster sessions will provide opportunities for all attendees to present their work. Also, one afternoon will be devoted to a workshop on the use of multicore and GPUs, and an evening workshop on open source code development will also be featured. In addition, the schedule provides large blocks of time for informal discussions, relaxation, or leisure, as well as several receptions to facilitate interaction between conference participants. Each presentation will be rigorously reviewed and edited.
