Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed-Matter Physics XIII: Proceedings of the Thirteenth Workshop, Athens, GA, USA, February 21-25, 2000

Almost fifteen years ago, because of the phenomenal growth in the power of computer simulations, The University of Georgia formed the first institu­ tional unit devoted to the use of simulations in research and teaching: The Center for Simulational Physics. As the international simulations community expanded further, we sensed a need for a meeting place for both experi­ enced simulators and neophytes to discuss new techniques and recent results in an environment which promoted extended disc...
