Welcome to Japan for the
Conference on Computational Physics (CCP2012)
for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering
and related academic fields and industrial applications
| Registration: |
May 1st - September 10th, 2012 |
| Abstract submission: |
May 1st - August 31st, 2012 |
Venue: Nichii Gakkan, Hyogo-ken Kobe-shi Chuo-ku Minatojima Minamimachi 7-1-5
Purpose and concept of the CCP2012
The Conference on Computational Physics (CCP) is
organized annually under the auspices of the Commission 20 of the IUPAP
(International Union of Pure and Applied Physics).
The
aim of the conference is mainly to report and discuss the most recent
topics in computational physics and its applications to research and
industry. It treats with particular care also issues related to
education in developing countries without enough infrastructure for
computation.
In 2012 the CCP is being organized in Kobe, Japan, also in the occasion
of the opening of the K computer (presently ranked first of
the TOP500) to the international community:
starting from November 2012 applications for using K will be publicly accepted.
We are organizing the Japanese CCP meeting a little
differently from the previous ones. Our goal is to encourage strong
communication among different fields and to foster new collaborations
between fundamental research and applications, through the commonality
of numerical methods.
So we are:
- Sorting
the parallel sessions on the basis of numerical methods, namely
there will be a session on finite-difference methods, one on
particle-dynamics methods, one on Monte Carlo methods, and so on, with
contributions from different fields of physics and related subjects.
- Trying
to select invited speakers that are able to effectively present a
comprehensive overview of the past, present, and future of their
research field, and to illustrate which are the best strategies to
obtain (numerical) solutions in the specific research.
The CCP2012 is co-organized by:
Osaka University
Kyoto University
Kobe University
University of Hyogo
The Japan Physical Society (JPS)
The Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP)
This conference is also endorsed by:
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology in Japan (MEXT) The Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS) Association of Asia-Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS)
European Physical Society (EPS)
American Physical Society (APS)
The Asahi Shimbun (The Newspaper Co LTD)
The Kobe Shimbun (The Newspaper Co LTD)
The conference is supported by:
The Institute of Laser Engineering (ILE), Osaka University
The Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Osaka University
The Earth Simulator Center (JAMSTEC) Chinese Physical Society (CSP)
The conference is financially supported by:
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
Japan World Exposition 1970 Commemorative Fund (JEC Fund)
Kobe Convention & Visitor Association
Nakauchi Tsutomu Convention Promotion Foundation
Finally, we highly
recommend to consider spending some additional time in Japan also
before or after the conference, in order to experience wonderful
historical and modern places like Kyoto, Nara,
Himeji, and Osaka, to mention only some of the ones closest to Kobe.
