Industrial Applications of Computational Chemistry and Molecular Simulation

Friday, November 21, 2008: 8:00 AM
Room 103-A (Pennsylvania Convention Center)

Description:
Papers are solicited that illustrate new applications of computational chemistry and molecular simulation to industrial problems. Papers exploring novel applications of well established software as well as more exploratory algorithmic development are welcomed. Simulations of chemical reactions, equilibria, and transport would be appropriate for this session, as would the molecular aspects of materials modeling. Thus, this session is expected to encompass a diverse range of application areas.
