The Molecular Simulations, Structures and Processes international workshop, to be held from 30 June to 3 July as part of the 2008 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications in Perugia, Italy, is calling for papers.

MOSSAP papers should be submitted according to author instructions. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three experts in the relevant field (acceptance rate was 28% in 2005, 26% in 2006 and 28% in 2007) ensuring the acceptance of only top quality contributions.

Contributions for oral presentation are invited and accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

MOSSAP aims to gather computational molecular scientists who work at developing realistic simulations based on rigorous molecular treatments.

In particular, the workshop is devoted to discussion of the problems met when structuring computer workflows and programs to calculate molecular structures, elementary processes, molecular dynamics, experimental observables and thermodynamics parameters.

The workshop will also cover the importance of accurate and fast algorithms in distributed computing environments when aiming to maximize performance and enable investigation of a new class of problems. Workshop participants will also discuss the current status of computational material research performed on grid infrastructures.
