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 CCP is an international conference, whose aim 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 (until May 2012 ranked first and presently second of the TOP500) for shared use.

We have organized the CCP meeting in Japan 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 have:

• Sorted the parallel sessions on the basis of numerical methods, namely there is 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 (see Scientific program).

• Tried 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 (see Invited speakers).
