2002 NSF Division of Materials Research ITR Computational Workshop
June 19-20, 2002, Materials Computation Center, UIUC
Summary
DMR, and Materials Theory in particular, has invested significant resources in computational materials research over the past decade. DMR and Materials Theory will conduct a review of research supported under various computational initiatives (HPCC/CARM, KDI, ITR), as well as larger projects such as Focussed Research Groups and NIRT's with a computational focus. As it is virtually impossible to visit all of the groups, the main goal is to have a concerted review of all groups simulaneously, especially to encourage cross-talk among grantees; to provide an opportunity for young investigators to present their research; and, to provide the computational community with an overview of opportunities available in computational sciences at NSF, especially through ITR.
Presentations

Agenda
Besides the two full days of talks, working groups, and final discussion group, a three-hour poster session is planned on the first day where detailed NSF-supported research can be presented.
The meeting will be held at the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory and The Materials Computation Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (see map below). Main talks will be in ESB Auditorium (signs will be posted).
Tentative Schedule for Talks and Poster

- Single $60 per night Double $65.00 per night
- Block of rooms held until May 28, 2002 ? Group Code NSF
- PI makes own reservation and covers their room costs.
Student/Postdoc Housing is available in dorm like rooms at effectively no cost and will be double occupancy. (Single rooms can be arranged for medical or special considerations.) See Registration Form for details, and we will make arrangements.
Travel Support
PI is expected to cover their own costs. Student(s)/Post-doc(s) see Registration Form.
The travel stipend support available for students and post-docs is finite. We will try to ensure that each grant has one slot available if they choose to apply, and, after that, the priority is to poster presenters. Stipends will be distributed in various quanta depending on travel costs.
