The Symposium D, entitled "Computational Modeling of Issues in
Materials Science" was presented at the combined 1997 International
Conference on Applied Materials/European Materials Research Society
Spring meeting (ICAM'97/E-MRS'97) held in Strasbourg (France) from
16-20 June 1997.
Those who attended came from all five continents with
participants coming from as far away as South Africa, Australia and
Eastern Europe. There were 14 invited talks, 54 contributed papers,
and 62 posters presented at the symposium.
Computational materials science has truly emerged as a field in
itself. The range of phenomena studied and the variety of
techniques used indicate that the subject has sufficiently matured
that technologically relevant information can now be routinely
extracted from computational modeling. These models increasingly
use atomistic information from which macroscopic parameters may be
determined.
Several papers showed that parallel computers will play a major
role in the further development of the field. The Car-Parrinello
method emerged as a workhorse for the most advanced simulations
which the advent of faster hardware and diffusion of computer codes
has brought within easy reach of many research groups. How to
consistently go from the micro- to the macro-scale remains one of
the great unsolved puzzles in computational materials science and
was the subject of much discussion at the symposium. The
interdisciplinary side of computational studies of matter was
demonstrated in several talks, where authors borrowed methods from
nuclear physics, fluid dynamics, and other subjects.
This was a very productive symposium with new collaborations
started, many novel ideas generated and a large amount of
information disseminated. The meeting gave an excellent idea of the
status of computational materials service "anno" 1997.
