Venue

The Math/Chem/Comp 2004 (MCC'04) will be held in Dubrovnik from
21-26 June, 2004. Dubrovnik is situated on Adriatic Coast at the

(Vrata od Pila) of the Old City.

Conference Scope

The MCC'04 is the 19th in the series of MCC meetings which started
in 1986. Any subject pertinent in an interdisciplinary way to
mathematics and/or computer sciences and chemistry and related
sciences is a legitimate topic to be presented at the MCC'04.
The meeting is open to all aspects of current research in the
applications of computer modeling, combinatorics, graph theory
and topology to any area of chemistry, physics, material and life
sciences.

Scientific Program

The conference part will cover recent developments in mathematical
and computational chemistry and physics with a due respect to
applications in material sciences, drug and vaccine design, genetics
and protein studies, etc. The conference program includes invited
lectures, contributed oral presentations and posters. The course
part covers the introductory lectures to the topics presented in
the conference part.

A series of special sessions will be accommodated within the conference.
Up to now Sessions on Chemometrics & Drug Discovery (organized by
D. Butina, darko.butina.-at-.ntlworld.com) and Session on Bioinformatics
(organized by I. Simon, simon.-at-.enzim.hu & P. F. Stadler,
stadler.-at-.bioinf.uni-leipzig.de) are announced.

A series of Courses is also to be held. Up to now Course on RNA
Secondary Prediction Algorithms (I. Hofacker, ivo.-at-.tbi.univie.ac.at)
and Course on Philosophy of Chemistry (H. Vancik, vancik.-at-.irb.hr)
are confirmed.

Information on some further possible sessions & courses will be given
in the Second Announcement and/or MCC web page (http://mcc.irb.hr).
