Computer Aided Innovation of New Materials: Proceedings of the Second International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Applications to Materials and Molecular Science and Engineering - CAMS

With advanced materials being in the midst of a widely acknowledged revolution, there is relentless pressure on scientists and engineers to be on the currint edge of emerging theories and design methodologies. The 379 papers in the two-part volume bring together the expeience of specialists in the entire field of applications of materials science. This multidisciplinary meeting was held to bring together workers in a wide range of materials science and engineering activities who employ common analytical and experimental methods in their day-to-day work. The results of the meeting should be of world-wide interest, and should help to stimulate future research and analysis in this area.
