This workshop series brings together participants in electronic structure theory from around the world, in particular from the U.S. The presentations describe new methods for computing previously inaccessible properties, break throughs in computational efficiency and accuracy, and novel applications of these approaches to the study of molecules, liquids, and molecules.
The program will consist of invited oral presentations and contributed posters describing recent developments in the topics mentioned above. The web page for ES08 (URL given above) provides a good idea of the type and variety of program and of the organization of the workshop.
