Symposium 2

Title: Atomistic Calculations in condensed matter physics, surface physics, and nanophysics

Organizer: Aristides Zdetsis, University of Patras   

E-mail address: [email-masked] 

Description: Atomic level modelling and calculation of the structure and properties of materials has become widespread over the last few years due to the great advances in fundamental physical understanding of bonding and the enormous increase of computing power. The atomistic research through laboratory experiments based on current experimental technology is limited by the fact that rarely possible to manipulate and observe individual atoms. Thus, laboratory measurements can be supplemented and enhanced by computer based experiments and simulations which only recently have become available for a sufficient number of atoms. This is largely related to the processing power needed for extremely complex quantum mechanical calculations. As a result the field is expanding rapidly, touching on a variety of other scientific research areas including mainstream physics and chemistry, surface science, materials science, and even biochemistry. The fundamental point in contemporary atomistic research is that the quantum mechanical Schrodinger
equation must be solved for all atoms under consideration plus their bonding electrons in real space and with high accuracy. The high accuracy achieved over the last few years makes the application of atomistic methods meaningful and of practical value for real world industrial and scientific applications. Furthermore in several situations the value of atomistic calculations can be largely expanded through concurrent coupling of length scales in solid state and material science systems. Through the coupling of quantum to statistical and to continuum mechanics an accurate description of specific materials on length scales spanning the electronic to the macroscopic can be accomplished.

Symposium 3

Title: Computational methods in chemical engineering: physical chemistry

Organizers: Ioannis A.Bitsanis, FO.R.T.H-I.E.S.L and Evangelos Manias, Pennsylvania State University 
 
E-mail: [email-masked] and [email-masked] 

Description: Chemical Engineering, since its inception as a distinct discipline, has pioneered the efforts for the prediction of physicochemical properties of rather complex materials (molecular liquids, polymeric fluids, colloidal suspensions). From its engineering viewpoint it aimed at concrete results that could be, and have been, utilized for process control, design and optimization purposes. These efforts produced, and keep producing, fundamental advances in our understanding of “soft matter” and in our ability to model it. The Symposium aims at synthesizing methodologies (e.g., fundamental molecular models, empirical molecular models, simulations and simulation innovations, predictive use of basic findings) by bringing together researchers that have contributed to the various aspects of “molecular engineering”.

Symposium 4

Title: International Symposium on Computational Electrochemistry

Organizers: Leslaw K. Bieniasz (Cracow, Poland). E-mail: [email-masked] 
                 Dieter Britz (Aarhus, Denmark) 
 
Description: The Symposium will be devoted to ALL ASPECTS of computer and computational method uses in electrochemistry, including (but not necessarily limited to): digital simulations and computer-aided data analysis in electrochemical kinetics, electroanalysis, or other fields involving electrochemical continuum computations quantum chemical and molecular calculations (ab initio, Monte-Carlo, Molecular Dynamics, etc.),  electrochemical software, expert systems, computer-aided instrumentation,  electrochemical engineering calculations 
 
Presentations dealing with ALL such subjects are welcome. However, presentations devoted to NEW computational methods and approaches are particularly encouraged (rather than mere applications of widely known and used methods), in agreement with the general mission of the ICCMSE Conferences. 

The goal of the Symposium is to bring together scientists working in diverse areas of computational 
electrochemistry, in order to share ideas and to discuss possibilities for a more co-ordinated development of this emerging branch of electrochemistry and computational science. 

Symposium 5 

Title: "5th Symposium on Mathematical Chemistry"

Organizer: Sonja Nikolic, The Rugjer Boskovic Institute, Division of Physical Chemistry, Zagreb, Croatia

Email address: [email-masked]  

Scope and Topics: Graph Theory development, studying complexity of molecules and reactions, development of molecular descriptors, modeling structure-property-activity, advanced chemometric routines and cheminformatics algorithms as the tools required by chemical engineers and analytical chemists to explore their data and build predictive models. 

Symposium 6 

Title: "Approaches and Methods of Security Engineering" 

Organizer: Dr. Tai-hoon Kim, Garak-Dong, Songpa-Gu, Seoul, Rep. Of Korea, Security Engineering Research Center.

E-mail address: [email-masked], Tel:+82-19-316-7017

Scope and Topics: The general systems of today are composed of a number of components such as servers and clients, protocols, services, and so on. Systems connected to network have become more complex and wide, but the researches for the systems are focused on the ‘performance’ or ‘efficiency’. While most of the attention in system security has been focused on encryption technology and protocols for securing the data transaction, it is critical to note that a weakness (or security hole) in any one of the components may comprise whole system. Security engineering is needed for reducing security holes may be included in the software. There are very many approaches or methods in software development or software engineering. Therefore, more security-related researches are needed to reduce security weakness may be included in the software and complement security-related considerations of general software engineering. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to 

Approaches or methods for securing IT products or applications, 
 
Approaches or methods for securing development processes,
 
Approaches or methods for securing operational environments,

Approaches or methods for assuring of security countermeasures,
 
Parallel use of security assurance approaches or methods,  
 
Wireless network security and assurance,
 
Common criteria (CC) and protection profile (PP)

Symposium 7

Title: " Modeling Complex Molecular and Biomaterial Systems: Simulation of Reactive Processes, Methodological Advances and Interplay with the Experiments"

Organizer: Marco Garavelli, Universita' degli Studi di Bologna, Italy

Email address: [email-masked]  

Scope and Topics: The purpose is to bring about multidisciplinary aspects of the simulation of (thermal/photo-induced) reactive processes in molecular materials of biological and technological relevance, spanning from first principles computations to concurrency theory and process calculi, including methodological developments. A particular attention will be also devoted to the experiments and their interplay with theory and computations (for this purpose, experimentally oriented key-lectures will be also scheduled) to stimulate discussion and concepts dissemination, and trigger the exchange of ideas and opinions among different areas. 

Symposium 8

Title: " Quantum Control and Light-Matter Interactions: Recent Computational and Theoretical Results"

Organizers: Emmanuel Paspalakis, University of Patras, Greece and Ioannis Thanopulos, The University of British Columbia, Canada

Email address: [email-masked], [email-masked]  

Scope and Topics: It has been recognized over the past decades that electromagnetic fields can be used successfully for the controlled manipulation of quantum material systems over a wide range of time, size and energy scales. Alternatively, proper control of the quantum dynamics of material systems can be used for the manipulation of light. The interaction of light with matter and its application for quantum control has thus become an integral part of numerous research areas, including chemical physics, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, quantum computation and quantum information processing, and ultra-cold matter. This symposium aims to highlight new computational and theoretical results related to quantum control and light-matter interactions in all relevant research fields.

The research topics of the symposium are, but not limited to:

· Quantum Control of Atoms, Molecules and Nanoscale Systems

· Quantum Control of Semiconductors and Semiconductor Nanostructures

· Quantum Control of Complex Systems

· Laser Control of Wavepacket Dynamics

· Intense and Super-Intense Laser-Matter Interactions

· Active and Passive Control of Light by Matter

· Applications of Control Techniques in Ultra-Cold Matter

· Applications of Control Techniques in Nonlinear and Quantum Optics.

· Applications of Control Techniques in Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Processing: Implementations, Entanglement, Decoherence, Quantum Error Correction, Quantum Communication

Symposium 9

Title: " Frontiers in Computational Biological and Medicinal Chemistry"

Organizer: Salvatore Guccione, Ph.D., MOLECULAR MODELLING LABORATORY, University of Catania, Faculty of Pharmacy, Dipartimento di Scienze Farmaceutiche, viale Andrea Doria, 6, Ed. 2 ,Citta Universitaria, I-95125 Catania (ITALY), Telephone: +39 095 738-4020, Fax:+39 095 443604

Email address: [email-masked]   

Scope and Topics: Proteomics is the effort to uncover information about how genes are related to biological functions and disease states. There is also great interest in the power of proteomics to identify targets for disease intervention and treatment, given that most drug targets are proteins. 
Computational protein-ligand docking methods or ligand based “indirect” approaches are now routinely used to predict the binding mode of biologically active small molecules when complexed to their protein receptors.
Observed binding affinities and biological effects can be rationalized in terms of specific interactions with the protein binding site and exploited for the drug design and lead optimization. 

Aim of the session will be to put together state of the art knowledge on proteomes, their modifications in disease states as well as the applications of this knowledge to Biological and Medicinal Chemistry.

Symposium 11

Title: " Mathematical characterization of DNA Sequences – Towards new directions"

Organizers: Ashesh Nandy, Visiting Scientist, School of Environmental Studies, Jadavpur University, Jadavpur, Kolkata 700032, INDIA and Subhash C. Basak, Senior Research Scientist, Natural Resources Research Institute and Adjunct Professor, Department Chemistry and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Minnesota - Duluth, 5013 Miller Trunk Highway, Duluth , MN 55811 , USA

Email addresses: [email-masked] and [email-masked] 

Scope and Topics: Extracting information from the rapidly growing sequence data in DNA databases poses formidable computational problems. Over the last few years a number of approaches have been formulated to mathematically characterize the base distribution and composition characteristics of DNA sequences with a view to aiding biologists in their quest for rapidly identifying sequence segments of interest. Methods based on graphical representations have been found to be intuitively appealing and potentially highly informative. While there have been several interesting applications of these techniques, in many instances the results have been found to be conflicting.
This workshop will
(a) review the major methods of graphical representation and mathematical characterization of DNA sequences
(b) highlight the importance and relevance of this approach for many issues in DNA sequence analyses
(c) analyze the strengths and weaknesses of current techniques and determine the best methodologies for characterizing and analyzing DNA sequences,
(d) consider the follow-up applications of these techniques in studies of RNA and protein sequences
(e) identify new directions for further developing these techniques and applications
to assist the biologists in extracting important information from sequence data.
