Computational chemistry uses computers to solve chemical problems. It applies theoretical methods implemented in software for computations. At the outset of the 21st century, computational chemistry is leading to a wide range of possibilities usually interdisciplinary. This symposium aims to gather researchers applying computational methods in chemistry and allied subjects. The topics may be related but not limited to structural, spectroscopic, kinetic and thermodynamic aspects.

Virtual Symposium on Control and Systems Science

Chairperson: Dr Sayed Zahiruddeen Sayed Hassen ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Systems and control engineers create much of the complex and fun technologies on the planet. They seek to understand physical systems, using mathematical modeling, in terms of inputs, outputs and various components with different behaviors, use control systems design tools to develop controllers for those systems and implement controllers in physical systems employing available technology. A system can be mechanical, electrical, fluid, chemical, financial and even biological, and the mathematical modeling, analysis and controller design uses control theory in one or many of the time, frequency and complex-s domains, depending on the nature of the design problem. In the context of this virtual symposium, we welcome research work with relevance to systems and/or control as describing specific applications in (but not restricted to) engineering, economics, the physical sciences, signal processing. Work on system modeling and simulation, Machine intelligence, artificial neural networks and other computationally intensive approaches to develop solutions for systems are also encouraged.

Virtual Symposium on Computational Information Systems

Chairperson: Prof Nixon Muganda ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

The discipline of Information Systems (IS) is concerned with the context of Information Technology (IT) and how IT is applied in human affairs (individually, organizations and society). The information system is composed of and processes information in a system of people, processes and IT. The current information ecology of people, organizations and society are diverse, multiple, complex and almost limitless due to advances in processing, storage and networking technologies. Therefore, the core problem for computational information systems designing and modelling computational information systems that enable decision makers to be better at accessing and using meaningful information and knowledge. Apart from designing and modelling better computational information systems, there is need for better theorizing to provide a solid foundation for IS as the world moves towards a more digital and knowledge-based society. This symposium seeks contributions related to computational information systems and Information Systems Theory. Suggested topics include but not limited to:

  • Information Systems Theory
  • Business Intelligence
  • Policy Informatics
  • Business Analytics
  • Applications of Knowledge-Discovery in Databases
  • Process Analytics
  • Decision Support in the Public Sector
  • Modelling Information Ecologies
  • Modelling Open Government/Social Media Participation
  • Digital Transformation of Enterprises

Virtual Symposium on Computational Physics

Chairperson: Prof Soonil D. D. V. Rughooputh ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Historically, computational physics was the first application of modern computers in science, and today it is recognised as a subset of computational science.
 
Computational physics treats the computational aspects of physical problems and the use of computers to further physics and physics-related research.  It deals with the study and implementation of numerical analysis to solve problems in all areas of physics for which a quantitative theory already exists or to supplement theory and experiment.    It is increasingly being supported by advances in microelectronics, numerical analysis and computer science, computer graphics and visualisation leading to a greater understanding of physical processes.
 
Examples of areas that lie within the scope of computational physics include:

  • Large scale quantum mechanical calculations in nuclear, atomic, molecular and condensed matter physics
  • Large scale calculations in such fields as hydrodynamics, astrophysics, plasma physics, meteorology and geophysics
  • Simulation and modelling of complex physical systems such as those that occur in condensed matter physics, meteorology, epidemiology, medical physics and industrial applications
  • Experimental data processing and image processing
  • Computer algebra; development and applications
  • The online interactions between physicist and the computer system
  • Encouragement of professional expertise in computational physics in schools and universities
    In this group, we emphasize methods that cross disciplinary boundaries.
