Information Science: "Unified Approach for Molecular Dynamics and Density-Functional Theory" (1985) - by Roberto Car and Michele Parrinello |
 |
 |
 |
 Roberto Car (left) is the Ralph W. Dornte 31 Professor in Chemistry at Princeton University. Car is a Fellow of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science (PCTS), and is affiliated with the Department of Physics, the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM), and the Program in Computational and Applied Mathematics (PACM).
He received a doctorate in physics from the Milan Institute of Technology. Before joining Princeton University in 1999, he worked at the University of Milan, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, and the University of Geneva.
Car is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), a recipient of an honorary doctorate, and was awarded the 2009 Dirac Medal of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, the Raman Prize for Computational Physics from the American Physical Society in 1995, and the Hewlett-Packard Europhysics Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Solid State Physics from the European Physical Society in 1990. In 2008, he received a Humboldt Foundation research award for senior US scientists. Roberto Car is a founding member of ISSNAF.
Michele Parrinello (right) has been professor of computational science at ETH Zurich since 2001 and for part of this time was also director of the Swiss Center for Scientific Computing (CSCS) in Manno, Switazerland. Prior to joining ETH, he was director at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany; manager at the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich; and professor at SISSA in Trieste, Italy.
Abstract
We present a unified scheme that, by combining molecular dynamics and density-functional theory, profoundly extends the range of both concepts. Our approach extends molecular dynamics beyond the usual pair-potential approximation, thereby making possible the simulation of both covalently bonded and metallic systems. In addition it permits the application of density-functional theory to much larger systems than previously feasible. The new technique is demonstrated by the calculation of some static and dynamic properties of crystalline silicon within a self-consistent pseudopotential framework.

Sangiovanni-Vincentelli received his PhD in Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 1971. He is currently the Edgar L. and Harold H. Buttner Chair of Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Vincentelli has made groundbreaking scientific contributions to EDA and co-founded the two largest EDA companies in the field - Cadence and Synopsys. An IEEE Fellow and member of the National Academy of Engineering, Sangiovanni-Vincentelli's honors include the 2001 Phil Kaufman Award (the most prestigious award in the EDA field), the VIP Award of the Italian National Research Council (1996-1999), the 1994 Inventor Recognition Award from the Semiconductor Research Corporation, and the 2009 IEEE/RSE Wolfson James Clerk Maxwell Award. University of California at Berkeley has also honored him with the Distinguished Teacher Award and the IEEE Graduate Teaching Award for inspirational teaching.

The team at UCLA Engineering’s Network Research Lab is looking at reinventing cars and networks based on the principles of a wireless, mobile ad-hoc networking platform, or MANET. The MANET platform allows moving vehicles within a range of 100 to 300 meters of each other to connect, and car by car, create a network with a wide range. As cars fall out of range and drop out of the network, other node- equipped cars can join in to receive or send signals. UCLA’s team is currently exploring all the broad applications of this innovative technology.

Computer Science: "Whozat?" The People Search Engine |
|

|
ISSNAF Member and
Whozat? focuses on people and offers wider coverage of information sources: search engines, social and professional networks. It is interactive: it allows users to give feedback on every element in the results, and immediately customizes them accordingly. It applies semantic search, focusing on meaning, not words. It ranks results according to relevance to your query, allowing information about ordinary people to be found on the web. It includes computer vision technology, automatically generates tags that allow a searcher to indicate which person, or which aspect of a person, she is interested in.
