CCL: Announcing consortium for advanced Monte Carlo simulations

 Sent to CCL by: "Joseph  Tucker" [joe.tucker(0)scienomics.com]
 Scienomics has the pleasure to announce our 'Advanced Monte Carlo Simulations
 for Materials Properties' consortium which aims to develop a comprehensive,
 generalized and extensible software package offering the most advanced
 Monte Carlo schemes.
 This tool will enable the application of these sophisticated techniques to
 systems which are not handled by current Monte Carlo implementations.
 Recent developments in Monte Carlo techniques - and in particular those
 related to connectivity altering moves - present a robust approach
 to relaxing complex molecular systems and therefore enable reliable
 prediction of configurational properties as well as physical properties
 such as the chemical potential.
 The deliverables from this consortium will boost the use of Monte Carlo
 simulations for materials presenting large configuration relaxation times
 and will also enable the study of separations and phase equilibria related
 problems. Consortium activities will cover needs in a range of industrial
 segments: (Coatings, Chemicals, Adhesives, Oil, Packaging, Rubbers,
            Electronics, Additives, Personal care, Optics and Cleantech)
 and will focus on the following areas:
 * Simulations for accurate predictions of polymer properties
 * Simulations for phase equilibria and adsorption
 * Prediction of the chemical potential of small and medium sized molecules
 The consortium activities will start in January 2012.
