Scope and Topics:

Since the ever expanding conceptual and computational methods of many-body systems the present forum brings together the theoretical, mathematical, quantum and informatics methodologies of approaching structural, bonding and reactivity characterizations of the chemical systems in various laboratory and natural environments. The aim of symposium is to present and discuss current research in the study of frontier problems of chemistry in relation with physical, biological, ecological, toxicological and pharmacological systems targeting these way inter-disciplinary cross-fertilization ideas as coming from international scientists from a diverse background. Apart of the official proceeding publication of extended abstracts for the presented works in symposium the extended papers will be consider to form a special issue of International Journal of Chemical Modeling (NOVA Science Publishing Inc.).

Topics include but not limited to:

Combination of computational and experimental approaches is especially encouraged.

This Symposium appeared for the first time within ICCMSE 2004 and continued within ICCMSE 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 with considerable success. All kinds of case studies on industrial and environmental issues are welcomed, provided that they are not solely theoretical but include or refer to some kind of computational methodology and possibly an implementation or short case examples based on real or simulated data. Practical applications are also accepted for consideration, provided that they are adequately connected with the corresponding field of Science or Engineering or Technology or Economics or Decision Making.
Papers within such a field should be emailed directly to fbatzi@unipi.gr; csiontor@unipi.gr 

Symposium 6

Title:  Electrodynamics of Graphene: Theory, Experiment and Applications

Organizer: Dr. Sergey Mikhailov, Institute of Physics, University of Augsburg, D-86135 Augsburg, Germany, Tel.: +49 821 598-3255, Fax.: +49 821 598-3262

Graphene is a recently discovered purely two-dimensional material consisting of a monolayer of carbon atoms. The massless electronic spectrum of charge carriers in graphene leads to a lot of unusual and interesting electrical and optical properties of this material. Graphene promises a plethora of applications in electronics, optics and other fields.

The goal of this Symposium is to bring together researchers working on the linear and nonlinear graphene electrodynamics, to discuss the basic and applied physics aspects of the electromagnetic response of this material. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome. The topics to be covered include but are not limited to:

1. Absorption, transmission, Raman spectroscopies.

2. Plasma oscilations and other electromagnetic waves in graphene.

3. Cyclotron resonance, electron-phonon effects.

4. Higher harmonics generation and frequency mixing effects.

5. Photoinduced currents, photoresistance, photon drag effects.

Storage of carbon dioxide involves coupled dynamics on a large range of scales. Reactions and phase transitions are by nature nano scale phenomena while exchange of mass is coupled from diffusional flow close to the active regions for phase transitions and reactions up reservoir scale flow. In this symposium we focus on feasible strategies for implementing these coupled dynamics in full reservoir scale modeling. For this purpose quantum mechanics is used to characterize different minerals and classical molecular simulations are used to estimate adsorption structures and corresponding thermodynamic properties of interfaces. Thermodynamic properties of different phases and interfaces are incorporated into Phase Field Theory (PFT) for nano to micro scale characterization of phase transition dynamics. Detailed analysis of these results provides necessary basis for qualified simplification of results and implementation into reservoir simulation. Reaction kinetics are treated using reactive force fields in molecular dynamics simulations and extensions of PFT simulations for nano to micro scale modeling is in progress and will be outlined.

Friedman's "fundamental theorem" of biomedical informatics states that the combination of human intelligence and information resources is more powerful than human intelligence alone. Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has several potential benefits and hence research in the design and evaluation of user interfaces will benefit the users largely. Biometric authentication requires the user to interact with a computer wherein the biometric trait is captured and matched with the database, to verify the user’s identity. For the authentication system to meet its purpose, the user interface also plays an important role by way of capturing the biometric flawlessly, by being able to detect dummy/synthetic biometric identities, etc. Health information systems have gained much importance in recent times. A user interface related to medical applications also requires a careful and user friendly design. Medical Simulation systems, medical devices, consumer health websites and several other healthcare related systems require a good human computer interaction. Articles that reflect the most current primary issues regarding human-computer interactive systems in the following (not limited to) areas are invited:
