In a way the MOTECC-89 project started in the early sixties at the
IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose, California. The six years of
post-doctoral research, first with Giulio Natta on conductive
polymers, with Michael Kasha on spin-orbit effects, with Kenneth S.
Pitzer on high temperature molecules and thermo dynamics and with
R. S. Mulliken in the quantum chemistry of small molecules had
demonstrated pragmatically the importance of a broad-based research
and also let me taste some of the excitement to be derived from
interdisciplinarity. Thus when I started to gather a department in
the newly opened IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose, California, I
purposely named it "Large Scale Scientific Computation Department,"
avoiding reference to chemistry, physics, statistical mechanics or
fluid dynamics, which were our main tasks. In the sixties
interdisciplinarity was more and more recognized as a most
important if not nec essary avenue to cope with the technical needs
of our society. However, at that time interdisciplinarity was
synonymous with "team work," and true interdisciplinarity was a
formidably difficult objective. Although I headed an excellent
group of scientists with different backgrounds and there was much
progress and creativity, still each one of us was more or less
conducting his own research in his own field with occasional
cross-field partnerships and with some of the computational
techniques as our common base. Later, in 1974, I made a second
attempt, this time starting a new department at the Donegani
Institute, Montedison, in Novara, Italy."
