                    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
