I would like to draw your attention to a conference that may be of interest to some members of 
the list.  The conference was advertised earlier but registration and abstract submission are now 
open. 

Odyssey 2008: International Conference
Odyssey of Mathematical and Computational Aspects of Molecular Electronic Structure Calculation

Campus Saint-Jean
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
June 2-5, 2008

Call for Abstract Submission and Registration: https://saintjean.gobigevent.com
Abstract deadline: April 10, 2008
Early-bird registration deadline: May 2, 2008

We are pleased to announce and to invite you to attend the Odyssey 2008. This interdisciplinary 
international conference on the application of advanced mathematical and computational 
techniques, as they interface with theoretical chemistry, is organized by the University of Alberta's 
Campus Saint-Jean.

Confirmed invited speakers: M. P. Barnett, C. Brezinski, P. R. Graves-Morris, T. Helgaker, 
P. G. Mezey, M. Nooijen, J. Paldus, E. J. Weniger, T. Ziegler. 
Not confirmed yet: Ronald Cools 

It is the primary intention of this conference to present mathematical and computational 
techniques that are not yet so very well known, but which nevertheless will have a considerable 
impact on the way we will conduct research in (theoretical) chemistry. The conference will also 
serve as a kind of  "etats generaux" on the state of inter-disciplinary integration of Mathematics 
with other disciplines and it should provide directions for future research programs and 
collaboration.

We are planning to publish extended abstracts (up to two pages each) of all invited talks and 
poster presentations. Original scientific contributions will be published in a special issue of the 
International Journal of Quantum Chemistry. Submitted papers will be subject to the journal's 
standard referee procedures.
