Could you please distribute all or part of the information below about a world physics conference which may be of interest to many of the Czech Mathematicians and Physicists? ------------------------ SUMMARY: ---------------------------- CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS (CCP 1998) Granada, Spain, September 2-5 1998. The first EPS-IUPAP conference of a new series which continues the tradition of both the APS-EPS "Physics Computing" conferences (... Crakow 1996, Santa Cruz 1997) and the Asian "ICCP" conferences (... Singapore 1997). The CCP 1998 aims to cover all fields of computational physics and, in particular, Modelling Collective Phenomena in Complex Systems including Biology, Chemistry, Economy, Geology and Sociology.

Organized by the EPS Computational Physics Board and the Institute Carlos I for Theoretical and Computational Physics of the University of Granada The CCP 1998, to he held at the Exhibition and Conference Centre in Granada, initiates a new series that continues the tradition of both the APS-EPS Physics Computing conferences (Boston 1989, Amsterdam 1990, San José 1991, Prague 1992, Albuquerque 1993, Lugano 1994, Pittsburgh 1995, Krakow 1996, Santa Cruz 1997), and the Asian ICCP conferences (Beijing 1988 and 1993, Taiwan 1995 and Singapore 1997), some of which have also been supported by the IUPAP. PROGRAMME The CCP 1998 is planned to cover ALL fields of Computational Physics and, in particular, Modelling Collective Phenomena in Complex Systems, including Biology, Chemistry, Economy, Environmental Sciences, Geology and Sociology. That is, a principal aim is to favour contacts and the exchange of ideas and methods between these different fields of science. Therefore, the final program will consist of invited lectures and other contributions on Computer-aided Simulation and Modelling Novel Monte Carlo Methods, Novel Methods in Fluid Dynamics, Quantum Computing Methods, High Performance Visualization, Large Scale Computing Systems, Symbolic Modelling, ...

Granada Airport lies just ten kilometers from the city center (buses and taxis are available) and has daily flights to and from all major Spanish cities. Malaga Airport, about one hour's drive from Granada, provides connections to most European major cities as well as some intercontinental destinations. One can also arrive to Spain at other international airports such as Madrid-Barajas Airport and Barcelona-Prat Airport. Further information at the Web site http://dalila.ugr.es/~ccp1998 By road. Granada is conveniently linked to Madrid (420 km), Barcelona (850 km) and San Sebastian (900 km), and from there on to other European destinations. Andalusia's motorways also provide good connections between Granada and other major towns in the region, e.g., Malaga (110 km), Cordoba (150 km) and Sevilla (250 km). By bus. Frequent, inexpensive and comfortable bus connections between Granada and most major cities in Spain. By rail. Two daily Madrid-Granada connections, one of which is an overnight train with sleeping compartments. There are also frequent connections between Madrid and Sevilla or Cordoba by high-speed AVE trains. Average Temperatures in Granada: Annual 15C (59F) September 20C (68F) Rain is unlikely during the first week of September.
