Satellite Computing School

An International Macromolecular Crystallography Computing School to be held August 17-23, 1996 at Western Washington U. Organized by P. Bourne and K. Watenpaugh, the School will concentrate on the theoretical and. practical aspects of macromolecular crystallographic computing. There will be extensive hands-on sessions in using the latest methods dealing with data collection (from both lab instrumentation and the new synchrotron beamlines), phasing, including integrated approaches, model building, refinement, and visualization. Attention will be given to: analyzing and using the fast growing body of macromolecular structure data; new data formats; and new computing methods that can be applied universally. The proceedings of the meeting will be available in traditional printed form and via Web pages.

Speakers giving formal lectures and/or conducting tutorials are: P. Bourne, S. Brenner, G. Bricogne, S. Bryant, M. Chapman, D. Collins, E. Dodson, L. Ten Eyck, B. Finzel, P. Fitzgerald, H. Flack, C. Giacovazzo, H. Hauptman, A. Howard, J. Irwin, C. Johnson, D. McRee, P. Main, W. Minor, D. Moss, P. Murray-Rust, A. Nicholls, J. Pflugrath, M. Ramanadham, G. Sheldrick, W. Steigemann, J. Sussman, B. Sweet, J. Thornton, D. Tronrud, C. Weeks, J. Westbrook, and S. Wodak.
