FOMMS 2012 is the 5th international conference showcasing applications and theory of computational quantum chemistry, molecular science, and engineering simulation. It is motivated by the continual need for precise prediction and control of materials properties and the fundamental, molecular-level understanding of chemical processes that allow the efficient creation of new products to meet specific market demands. Theoretical and algorithmic advances and modern computing technology allow companies to capture value and truly sustainable, far-reaching competitive advantage. The future for these methods is bright as they continue to prove their value to the chemical and chemical-related industries. The conference will explore these issues in the same format as the four previous highly successful FOMMS meetings held in 2000, 2003, 2006, and 2009.
