TACC-2012, the conference on Theory and Applications of Computational Chemistry, sponsored by the University of Pavia, Italy, and chaired by Prof. Enrico Clementi, will be held in Pavia from 2 to 7 September, 2012. TACC-2004 was held in Gyeongju, Korea chaired by Prof. Kwang S. Kim (Poh-ang U. Sci. Tech.) and TACC-2008 in Shanghai, chaired by Prof. Dongqing Wei (U. Jiao Tong, Shanghai, China). The conference is intended to convene a world-class group of scientists to discuss their forefront research with computer simulations on a broad range of problems in chemistry, solid state, bio-chemistry, bio-informatics, the next generation of nanomaterial/devices, and nanomedicine. Leading researchers in the computer industry will present future trends in computer architecture. The congress includes as a special event the "K computer day". The lectures will take place at the main site of the University of Pavia. We welcome, till June 10, registrations for oral contributions and poster presentations (see “Program”).

Novel devices from the computer industry, Nano-material/devices from Computational Chemistry, Nano-technology in Medicine, Polymers: Theory and Applications, Periodic and Quasi-Periodic systems, Reaction Dynamics, Theory for Catalysis, Quantum Chemical Methods in Bio-catalysis, Quantum Mechanical Applications, Accurate Quantum Chemical Models, Quantum Chemical Simulations, Relativity Problems in Chemistry, Methodology Development and Application in Computational Biochemistry, Enhanced Sampling Methods for Molecular Simulation in Computational Biochemistry, Chemio-informatics and Drug Design, K computer.
