I attach details of a meeting next month on communal tools for quantum chemistry. I shall highlight the contribution made by open efforts like Jmol and the rest of the software. I shall promote the use of Jmol as a visualiser for quantum chemistry. I think the meeting will be quite popular.

Toward a common data and command representation for quantum chemistry

05 April, 04 10:00 - 06 April, 04 16:00
e-Science Institute, 15, South College Street, Edinburgh
Organiser: Dr Philip Couch

The realisation of Grid technologies has provided a strong technological framework for the interoperability of computer codes. This has significant benefits for many scientific communities, including those of quantum chemistry. However, communication between such codes is hindered by the use of their many different file formats. Consideration of a common data and command representation would alleviate this difficulty.

In addition, the storage of data in a 'universal' format with suitable meta-data would simplify its analysis, interpretation and appropriate re-use. This meeting aims to address issues associated with the implementation of such a representation, including: design implications, software tools and existing efforts such as the XML-based Chemical Markup Language.

===========================

The meeting involves presentations, demonstrations and discussions and some participants will be providing code. The provisional list of presenters includes:
Prof. Kim Baldridge, Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Zurich
Prof. Peter Murray-Rust, Unilever Center for Molecular Informatics, Cambridge University
Dr. Theresa Windus, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Washington
Dr. Elda Rossi, CINECA, Bologna, Italy
Dr. Martin Westhead
Dr. Jon Wakelin, Department of Earth Sciences, Cambridge University
Dr. Philip Couch, Daresbury Laboratory, CLRC
