ICCN 2001
---------
Advanced computational techniques in the nano and micro
regimes are paramount in the advancement of nanoscience.
ICCN provides a forum for the interdisciplinary blending of
computational efforts in biology, chemistry, physics and
materials, founded on inherently similar ab initio approaches,
applied towards traditionally distinct disciplines.

MSM 2001
--------
The largest gathering in the field worldwide, MSM is the premier
technical forum for presenting the latest research and development
in modeling and simulation methods, tools and applications in the
MEMS, microelectronic, semiconductor, sensor, materials and
biotechnology fields.

Venue
-----
The 2001 ACRS Joint Meeting will be held at the luxurious,
Hilton Oceanfront Resort.  This beach front venue is tucked
away on breathtaking Hilton Head Island, off the southeastern
tip of South Carolina, U.S.A.

In addition to the conference technical program, an exciting 
list of social activities are being planned to allow attendees
ample opportunity to enjoy this exquisite island location,
which enjoys a subtropical climate year-round.
