The 2016 Computer Simulation of Radiation Effects in Solids (COSIRES) is the 13th edition of this conference. The biennial conference is a major international
forum to present and discuss the recent achievements in the advanced computer modelling of surface and bulk phenomena stimulated by all forms of irradiation.
Fundamental understanding of these phenomena is often not accessible by experiments, since they occur on very small time and length scales.
A vigorous development of both computer hardware and theoretical methodologies which has occurred in recent years has pushed the field into the forefront of a modern
science.
