FIRST ELECTRONIC MOLECULAR GRAPHICS AND MODELLING SOCIETY CONFERENCE
********************************************************************
The First Electronic Molecular Graphics and Modelling
Society Conference (MGMS EC-1) will be held on the Internet (the Net)
and World Wide Web (the Web) from Oct 7-18, 1996 and will cover a
broad range of disciplines related to molecular modelling, graphics
and simulation methods and applications. The conference is
sponsored by Elsevier, the Molecular Graphics and Modelling
Society, Molecular Simulations Inc, Oxford Molecular, NASA,
Springer-Verlag, Wyeth-Ayerst, and GlaxoWellcome and is
designed and operated by Greenlea Communications.
The conference is being served from the following UK and
US sites at Oxford University and Wesleyan University:
UK - http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/mgms/
USA - http://linus.chem.wesleyan.edu/~mirror/mgms/
Conference registration supplying userid, password and
payment details, is available through:
UK - http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/mgms/register.html
USA - http://linus.chem.wesleyan.edu/~mirror/mgms/register.html
Conference subject areas are: Protein Structure (Rod
Hubbard); Membranes and Membrane Proteins (Terry Stouch and
Alan Robinson); Computational Nanotechnology (Al Globus);
Protein Folding (Jeffrey Skolnick); Modelling of In Vivo Activity
(Ed Hodgkin); Knowledge-based Library Design (Mike Hann);
Surface Science (Donald Brenner); Host-guest interactions (Jon
Essex); Carbohydrates and Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions
(Anne Imberty); Enzyme Mechanisms (Guy Grant); Conformational
Sampling (Robert Topper); Nucleic Acids (David Beveridge and
Dennis Sprous); Quantum Chemistry (Tim Clark); Structure-based
Design (David Winkler); Visualization (Art Olson); and Perspectives
(Graham Richards).
Presentations are in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML),
graphics (GIF,JPEG) and other web-compatible formats
(VRML,Java,PDF) so that participants can view material via the World
Wide Web (WWW). During the conference meetings and discussions will take
place via the Internet in real-time using a virtual conference centre based
on a MOO (multiple-user domain, object oriented) and via Internet-
accessible electronic mailing lists and discussion areas.
The conference contains a Virtual Job Center and a Virtual
Trade Center where commercial vendors, software and hardware
developers, consultants, and contractors are able to display their
goods and services and provide software demonstrations in return
for exhibition fees to support conference activities. Any potential
exhibitors should contact Barry Hardy at barry at bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk
