                   ASPECTS OF ELECTRONIC AND NANOMATERIALS MODELING
                      Special session in the MAPINT 2000 Meeting
                             Dayton OH, August 17, 2000

The Programming Environment and Training (PET) initiative within the Department
of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program is pleased to 
announce a day long meeting on material science modeling as applied to current
engineering issues in electronic devices, nanostructures and MEMS.  This 
session is part of a three day symposium entitled Multidisciplinary 
Applications and Interoperable Computing (MAPINT 2000).

  When: 1:30 - 6:00 p.m. August 17, 2000 
  Where: The Engineers Club of Dayton, 110 East Monument Ave., Dayton, OH 45402 

The focus / prospectus of this session will be to:

  - discuss important DoD issues relating to computational modeling of
    electronic and nanoelectronic materials 
  - explore the interdisciplinary multiscale nature of materials design for
    electronic devices and microscopic electrical / mechanical systems 
  - promote collaboration between the DoD, academic and industrial
    research communities to address these important research objectives
