Almost fifteen years ago, because of the phenomenal growth in the
power of computer simulations, The University of Georgia formed the
first institu tional unit devoted to the use of simulations in
research and teaching: The Center for Simulational Physics. As the
international simulations community expanded further, we sensed a
need for a meeting place for both experi enced simulators and
neophytes to discuss new techniques and recent results in an
environment which promoted extended discussion. As a consequence,
the Center for Simulational Physics established an annual workshop
on Re cent Developments in Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed
Matter Physics. This year's workshop was the thirteenth in this
series, and the con tinued interest shown by the scientific
community demonstrates quite clearly the useful purpose that these
meetings have served. The latest workshop was held at The
University of Georgia, February 21-25, 2000, and these proceed ings
provide a "status report" on a number of important topics. This
volume is published with the goal of timely dissemination of the
material to a wider audience. We wish to offer a special thanks to
the IBM Corporation for its generous support of this year's
workshop. We also acknowledge the Donors of the Petroleum Research
Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society, and the
National Science Foundation for partial support. This volume
contains both invited papers and contributed presentations on
problems in both classical and quantum condensed matter physics."
Over the last 30 years, Professor David P. Landau's trailblazing
research achievements and influential leadership have helped
establish computer sim ulation as a powerful and incisive mode of
scientific investigation, now on a par in the physical sciences
with experimental and theoretical research. This year, we were very
pleased to organize a special one-day symposium honor ing the 60th
birthday of our distinguished colleague and friend. This event was
held in conjunction with and immediately following the annual
computer simulations workshop that Professor Landau founded 14
years ago. Many of the papers presented at this honorary symposium
are integrated into this pro ceedings volume, and the accompanying
photograph of participants serves to commemorate this very special
event. This volume contains both invited papers and contributed
presentations on problems in both classical and quantum condensed
matter physics. We hope that each reader will benefit from
specialized results as well as profit from exposure to new
algorithms, methods of analysis, and conceptual devel opments."
More than a decade ago, because of the phenomenal growth in the
power of computer simulations, The University of Georgia formed the
first institutional unit devoted to the use of simulations in
research and teaching: The Center for Simulational Physics. As the
simulations community expanded further, we sensed a need for a
meeting place for both experienced simulators and neophytes to
discuss new techniques and recent results in an environment which
promoted extended discussion. As a consequence, the Center for Sim
ulational Physics established an annual workshop on Recent
Developments in Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed Matter
Physics. This year's workshop was the twelfth in this series. It
was held at The University of Geor gia, March 8-12, 1999 as an
unofficial satellite conference to the Centennial Meeting of the
American Physical Society in Atlanta, GA. The continued interest
shown by the scientific community demonstrates quite clearly the
useful purpose which the series has served. These proceedings
provide a "sta tus report" on a number of important topics. This
volume is published with the goal of timely dissemination of the
