This message (also attached as pdf) contains the second circular for the FOMMS
2009 conference. Some of the new information added since the first circular
includes a delayed abstract deadline (March 20), the fee schedule, recipient of
the inaugural FOMMS Medal, and details about the Workshop on Simulations in
Education (including an opportunity to apply for a $500 grant towards the
conference fee).
This will likely be the final circular. For additional information, please

Venue
The Semiahmoo Resort is a seaside hotel featuring a luxurious spa and two of
Washington's top public golf courses. Nestled on the northern Puget Sound
shoreline in Blaine, WA, and overlooking Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbor, the
resort offers a multitude of resort activities in a beautiful setting.

FOMMS 2009 is the 4th international conference showcasing applications and
theory of computational quantum chemistry, molecular science, and engineering
simulation. It is motivated by the continual need for precise prediction and
control of materials properties and the fundamental, molecular-level
understanding of chemical processes that allow the efficient creation of new
products to meet specific market demands. Theoretical and algorithmic advances
and modern computing technology allow companies to capture value and truly
sustainable, far-reaching competitive advantage. The future for these methods
is bright as they continue to prove their value to the chemical and
chemical-related industries. The conference will explore these issues in the
same format as the three previous highly successful FOMMS meetings held in
2000, 2003, and 2006.
FOMMS 2009 combines plenary invited lectures, poster sessions, and abundant
free time for interactions and dialogue. The invited plenary lectures and
represent the state-of-the-art in the particular special topic areas. Two
poster sessions will provide opportunities for all attendees to present their
work. Workshops on the use of manycore and GPUs, simulation in education, and
open source code development will also be featured. In addition, the schedule
provides large blocks of time for informal discussions, relaxation, or leisure,
as well as nightly receptions to facilitate interaction between conference
participants. Conference papers will be published in rigorously reviewed
proceedings.
FOMMS Medal Award
The inaugural FOMMS Medal will be awarded to Prof. Michele Parrinello of the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). The award honors "profound
and lasting contributions by one or more individuals to the development of
computational methods and their application to the field of molecular-based
modeling and simulation." Professor Parrinello will be honored by the
conference attendees at the conference banquet to be held on Thursday evening
July 16.

Workshop on Simulations in Education
On Wednesday afternoon, a workshop will be conducted to acquaint interested
participants with molecular simulation modules that have been developed for
undergraduate instruction. As graphically-oriented, interactive simulations
they demonstrate the molecular origins of principles that students learn in
their courses on thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport. We will review the
modules that have been developed so far, discuss and demonstrate how they can
be used, and consider ways that participants can get involved in the
development of new modules. We also invite participants who have developed
their own educational molecular simulation modules to present them at the
workshop. If you wish to do this, please contact David Kofke before June 1 to
coordinate arrangements. Workshop participants can also apply for a grant of
$500 toward payment of the FOMMS conference fee. More details:
