Meetings | Spring 2010 National Meeting & Exposition | Online
Technical Program | Divisions tab | COMP. The COMP Division is proud
to present the following symposia:
- ACS Award for Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research:
Symposium in Honor of Kenneth M. Merz, Jr.
- Advances in Conformational Sampling
- Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award
- Drug Discovery
- Generalized-Ensemble Simulation Methods: Symposium in Honor of Dr.
Bernd Berg's 60th Birthday
- Hewlett-Packard Scholar Awards
- Molecular Mechanics
- The COMP Poster Session
- Quantum Chemistry
- Recent Advances in Computational Methods
- Sci-Mix
- Thomas Kuhn Paradigm Shift Award Symposium
- Cheminformatics Tools and High-throughput Approaches for the
Discovery of New Materials (Co-sponsored with CINF)
- Predicting Molecular Properties of the Mineral-Water Interface:
Challenges and Opportunities for High Performance Computing
(Co-sponsored with GEOC)
- Visual Analysis of Chemical Data (Co-sponsored with CINF)
Abstracts are now being accepted for the Boston National Meeting
(Sunday, August 22nd through Thursday August 26th, 2010) and can be
submitted using the Program and Abstract Creation System (PACS) at
http://abstracts.acs.org
. Abstracts are due by Tuesday, March 30th,
2010 and the tentative symposia are:
- The Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling's 50th Anniversary Symposium
- Docking & Scoring: What have we learned and where are we now?
This symposium consists of three distinct areas that discuss:
- Learnings from docking and scoring evaluations with a
pharmaceutically relevant data set
- Computational Approaches for Fragment Screening
- A Review of Docking Programs
- Success Stories in Computer-Guided Chemistry
- Using Waters Explicitly in Drug Discovery
- Frontiers of Condensed Phase Theory and Simulation: A Tribute to
Bruce J. Berne
- The PDB and Chemistry
- Targeting Gram-Negative Pathogens
- Tautomers and Biology
- The Community Structure-Activity Resource (CSAR) Scoring Challenge
- The Cheminformatic aspects of High Throughput Screening: from the
libraries, to the robots, to the models
- Scripting & Programming
This symposium consists of two distinct areas that discuss:
- Cross Pharma Collaboration in High Performance Computing
- HPC on the Cheap
- An Emerging Challenge in Multiscale Modeling and Simulation:
Mechanistic Understandings
- Molecular Mechanics
- Quantum Chemistry
- Drug Discovery
- Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award
- Hewlett-Packard Young Scholars Award
- The COMP Poster Session
- SciMix
The COMP Division is co-sponsoring the following symposia with other Divisions:
‘Simulation of Interfaces’ with the PMSE Division
‘Computer Modeling: The Wave of the Future and its Benefits for Small
Business Owners’ with the SCHB Division
Those interested in participating in these symposia should submit
their abstracts through the respective Divisions.
Please feel free to contact us if you have questions about the COMP
technical programs for the upcoming meetings or if you are interested
in organizing a symposium within the COMP Division for a 2011 National
Meeting.
We have a great technical program at both meetings and we hope that
you are able to attend.
Sincerely
