Subject: Computational Exploration of Energy Landscapes: Challenges and Solutions Computational Exploration of Energy Landscapes: Challenges and Solutions This international symposium, to be held at the ACS National meeting, August 28 - September 1, 2005, in Washington, D.C., will highlight recent fundamental advances in computing potential energy landscapes and their use in problems from small-molecule spectroscopy to large systems of biological interest. Topics include new approaches to nondynamical correlation and bond-breaking reactions, multi-reference methods, nonadiabatic and non-Born-Oppenheimer approaches, potential energy functions of biologically relevant systems, and the study of particularly challenging chemical reactions involving one or more potential energy surfaces. Abstracts for contributed talks are due on April 8.
