Breneman" [brenec() rpi.edu] 2007 Competition Symposium on "Emerging Technologies in Computational Chemistry" $1,000 prize to be awarded at the ACS national meeting, Boston, MA. The Computers in Chemistry Division (COMP) of the ACS will hold the eighth annual Symposium on Emerging Technologies in Computational Chemistry at the American Chemical Society National Meeting, Boston, MA, August 19-23, 2007.  The objective of the symposium is to stimulate, reward, and publicize major methodological advances in computational chemistry. The talks will be evaluated by a Panel of Experts on the quality of the presentation and the impact that the research will have on the future of computational chemistry and allied sciences. The symposium is ideal for presenting your latest and best research on new techniques, applications and software development. Schrodinger, Inc. sponsors the $1,000 award for the best talk at the symposium. All are invited to participate. To enter the competition, you should submit a regular short ACS abstract via http://oasys.acs.org/ prior to the OAsys deadline. It is also necessary to email a long (~1,000-word) abstract to the organizer. The presentations must be original, novel and concise. After receipt, the long abstracts will be evaluated by experts to determine which individuals will be selected to give oral presentations at the symposium. Finalists will be notified well in advance of the meeting. Presentations submitted through OAsys that cannot be part of the Emerging Technologies Symposium will be rescheduled in another appropriate COMP session at the Boston meeting. Inquiries and applications should sent to: Prof. Curt M. Breneman Director, RECCR Center for Cheminformatics Research Department of Chemistry Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY 12180 E-mail: brenec_at_rpi.edu
