Computers & Scientific Discovery 7: Chemistry, Computer Science and Mathematics

计算机科学发现7 （CSD7）是一个跨学科的研讨会，将汇集具有化学、图论、组合学、组合结构生成和自动猜想制作方面专业知识的研究人员，以便在化学方面取得计算和理论进展。研讨会将于2014年8月4日至8月8日在弗吉尼亚州里士满的弗吉尼亚联邦大学举行。CSD7是这个系列的第7个。前六次可持续发展讲习班在六个不同的国家举行。化学是研究物质及其转化的学科，是一门实验科学，但化学理论有一个潜在的数学结构。碳是最通用的化学元素，它可以与自身结合形成链、环、片、笼和周期性的3D结构。在过去二十年中发现的碳的新形态在分子电子学、化学和材料科学中有潜在的应用。利用这些机会将取决于来自许多学科的科学家的合作。CSD7为建立这些合作提供了理想的场所，使年轻的研究人员能够与各自领域的资深专家会面并互动。

Computers in Scientific Discovery 7 (CSD7) is an interdisciplinary workshop that will bring together researchers with expertise in chemistry, graph theory, combinatorics, the generation of combinatorial structures, and automated conjecture making in order to make computational and theoretical advances in chemistry. The workshop will be held at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA from August 04, 2014 to August 08, 2014. CSD7 is the 7th in this series. The previous six CSD workshops took place in six different countries.Chemistry is the study of matter and its transformations, and it is an experimental science, but chemical theory has an underlying mathematical structure. Carbon is the most versatile of chemical elements in combining with itself to form chains, rings, sheets, cages and periodic 3D structures. New forms of carbon, discovered in the past two decades, have potential applications in molecular electronics, chemistry and materials science. Exploitation of these opportunities will depend on collaborations of scientists from many disciplines. CSD7 provides the ideal venue for establishing these collaborations, allowing young researchers to meet and interact with senior experts in their fields.
