Session 506 - Recent Advances In Molecular Simulation Methods I
We seek theoretical and computational contributions in the development of novel methods for the simulation of atomic and molecular systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, Brownian Dynamics, Dissipative Particle Dynamics and quantum mechanical methods, as well as novel concepts and methods in multi-scale modeling in space and/or time.
