  Symposium on Progress and Future Prospects in Molecular Dynamics 
Simulation -In Memory of Professor Shuichi Nose- will be held on 
June 6-8 at Yagami Campus of Keio University in Yokohama, Japan.

  The symposium is organized in memory of Shuichi Nose, who passed away 
on 17 August 2005 at the age of 54, by his colleagues in Keio University 
and his Japanese friends in the field of molecular simulations. 
  In 1984, he published a new and fruitful algorithm, which exactly 
reproduces Gibbs' canonical ensemble in molecular dynamics simulations. 
This approach is now well known as the Nose thermostat method and has been 
widely applied to various fields of molecular simulations.  
  The purpose of the symposium is to express our heartfelt sorrow over 
his death and to give high praise to his work. Moreover, we plan to discuss
recent developments in the field of molecular simulations. 

  The organizers would like to encourage the participants, especially 
young students and post-docs, to contribute and cover a broad range of 
topics in the field of molecular simulations. Participation is free of 
registration fee.
