The Theme of this workshop is the calculation of interaction energies of atoms in condensed matter systems by quantum mechanical and empirical methods. Special emphasis will be on the use of those energies to predict the properties of surfaces and nano-structures.

There will be keynote talks given by invited speakers.

Provision has been made for shorter presentations. Abstracts of proposed talks should be submitted to Prof Ian Snook.

There will be an opportunity to submit papers arising from this meeting for publication in the journal "Molecular Simulation".
