Description of Workshop
=======================

Computational chemistry is a rapidly expanding with the explosive growth
of computational power. It is widely used in research and more
interestingly, interdisciplinary research.

The major goals of this workshop are to highlight the latest scientific
advances within the broad field of computational chemistry in education,
research, industry and society. This workshop will provide the opportunity
for researchers coming from corners of the world to be on a single
platform for discussion, exchanging ideas and possibly developing
collaborations.

It will also be a suitable platform for researchers from different fields
of computational science to meet so that ideas for interdisciplinary
research can emerge.

This is the third workshop after being successful events in ICCS-2006 and
ICCS-2007.

This workshop aims for high standards, only original work not published
(part or complete) will be considered after peer reviewing. The general
acceptance rate is about 30% of submitted papers.

Accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Topics
=====

Topics will include aspects of computational chemistry such as:

(i)   Methods
      Force fields, semiempirical, Ab initio, density functional

(ii)  Applications
      Kinetics, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, molecular properties,
      spectroscopic properties, conformational analysis, thermodynamics,
      solvent effects

(iii) Other research involving computational chemistry

(iv)  Computational chemistry in chemical education

(v)   Theoretical chemistry

(v)   Interdisciplinary computational research involving chemistry
