This workshop is an annual series starting in 1998 to provide a forum for discussing all the important issues in computational condensed matter physics and materials science. The principal purpose of the workshop is to offer an opportunity for exchanging ideas and enjoying in-depth discussion both in the methodology in computational physics and chemistry and its application to a wide variety of materials having not only fundamental significance and but also industrial importance.

This workshop consists of invited talks and contributed poster presentations. The majority of the participants are active scientists and researchers in electronic structure theory from all Asian countries. Yet scientists, and researchers from other areas are also very welcome to join us.

In this time, the 18th workshop will be held at Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP), the University of Tokyo, Kashiwa, Japan for Nov. 9-11, 2015, and jointly hosted by ISSP as ISSP International Workshop. We are looking forward to having stimulating discussion with many of you in this occasion.
