MOLECULAR MODELLING 2006 (MM2006) - SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR
ABSTRACTS
PERTH, AUSTRALIA, 19-22 APRIL 2006

We are pleased to announce that Molecular Modelling 2006 (MM2006) will
be held in Perth, Australia from Wednesday 19 until Saturday 22 of April
2006 at Curtin University of Technology.

These series of meetings are held every 18-24 months and aim to bring
together the modelling community in Australia, New Zealand, the
Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the world. The members of the
organising committee are Ricardo Mancera (chair), Julian Gale, Andrew
Rohl, Mark Spackman and Sue Berners-Price. The Conference Secretary is
Kate Wright.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
MM2006 will cover molecular modelling in the life and physical sciences.
Abstracts are invited for both oral and poster contributions in the
broad areas of biomolecular modelling (protein and macromolecular
modelling, ligand- and structure-based drug design and general molecular
modelling), computational chemistry (ab initio, DFT and QM/MM methods)
and materials modelling (condensed matter and polymers).

Abstracts should be no longer than one page long and submitted by e-mail
as Word or RTF documents to the Conference Secretariat.  Abstracts
should include a title, names of authors and their affiliations, summary
of the work presented and references.  Figures may be included within
the one-page limit, but reproduction will be done in black and white
only.

PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of the meeting will be published in a special issue of
the journal Molecular Simulation.  Participants of the meeting will be
invited to submit papers, which will undergo peer review.
