This workshop is an annual series starting in 1998 to provide a forum for discussing all the important issues in computational condensed matter physics and materials science. This ASIAN-16 workshop is jointly organized by Beijing Computatioanl Science Research Center, State Key Laboratory of Superhard Materials, Jilin University, & Science and Technology on surface Physics and Chemistry Laboratory, and will be held in Jiuhua Resort & Convention Center VIP building of Beijing, from Oct. 27th to 30th, 2013. The principal purpose of the workshop is to offer an opportunity for exchanging ideas and enjoying in-depth discussion both in the methodology in computational physics and chemistry and its application to materials. The majority of the participants are active scientists in electronic structure theory from all Asian countries, as is expected from the title of this workshop. Yet scientists from other areas are also very welcome to join us. The invited speakers will be recommended by the International Program Committee.
