Pune is one of the premier centers of learning in India, located about 100 miles south of Mumbai (Bombay). The purpose of the ICCCRE is to present a sweeping and state-of-the-art description and critical examination of the applications of computers in chemistry presented by outstanding experts drawn from all over the world. The program will be organized such that all interested parties can experience a broad range of topics. There will be ample opportunities for small group and one-on-one discussions. In particular, it is our endeavour that the program will especially cater to the needs of junior faculty, researchers, and students who are just starting out in the field. In addition, inter-disciplinary applications of computers will also be covered, making the conference of interest to workers in other chemistry-related disciplines. Tentatively, the technical program will focus on the following topics : (1) Computers in Chemical Education (2) Electronic Journals, Publishing and Conferencing (3) Artificial Intelligence, Chemometrics, Neural Networks and their Chemical applications. (4) Molecular Modeling, Quantitative structure-activity relationship. (5) Semi-Empirical and ab initio Quantum Chemistry, Density Functional Methods. (6) New Algorithms and Techniques in Computational Chemistry Under consideration is the possibility of pre-conference sharing of invited/contributed papers via electronic conferencing (a new feature of the ICCCRE). Given the rich and varied history and cultural attractions of India, the organizers hope to arrange pre- and/or post-conference excursions of varying duration. Programmatic suggestions and nominations for speakers are encouraged and are indeed very welcome.
