Date: Feb. 16(Mon) - 19(Thr), 2009 Place: ISSP auditorium What's new A book of abstracts is now available. A program of poster session is opened. The workshop timetable is updated. Online Registration Deadline has been extended to December 26. Online Registration Now Available. Important dates Dec. 26(Fri): Abstract submission and Registration deadline Scope and Background Every year, we host a domestic workshop in which most of the heavy users of the ISSP super computers get together and exchange ideas. On the scheduled date of the next workshop, the present supercomputer system will be finishing its 4th year of the 5 year lease contract. We consider this is a good opportunity to have an international event by expanding our annual workshop, in order to review most important recent results in computational physics and stimulate further developments in both methodology and applications. To name several expected topics of discussion: extended ensemble method, diagrammatic expansion and Monte Carlo sampling, tensor product wave functions and variational calculation, first-principles calculation and combination with quantum Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics calculation for the reactions near the surface, systems with long-range interactions, multi-ferroics, etc. Invited Speakers H.
