Annual Reports in Computational Chemistry
In order to provide significant new value to COMP members, the Executive Committee is developed a printed annual report covering the most important topics in computational chemistry. In development for several years, the Annual Reports in Computational Chemistry is now a reality. The first edition of ARCC was shipped to members in March 2005, published by Elsevier. The volume conteined 18 contributions in six sections. Sections and section editors include Quantum Mechanical Methods (T. Daniel Crawford), Molecular Modeling methods (Carlos Simmerling), QSAR/QSPR (Yvonne Martin), Applications of Computational Methods (Heather Carlson), Chemical Education (Theresa Zielinski), and Emerging Science (Ralph Wheeler).
