apologies for multiple postings Joint RSC CIG/CSA Autumn meeting Chemical Structures and Networking: An Overview of Recent Developments A meeting organised jointly by the RSC Chemical Information Group and the Chemical Structure Association Burlington House, London, Thursday, October 16th, 1997 Rapid development continues in the application of increasingly sophisticated computer technology, both hardware and software, to the location, retrieval, registration, manipulation and exploitation of chemical structure and related data. These developments are helping users cope with the new demands arising from the continuing growth in the volumes and complexity of data, especially from such techniques as combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening. All of this is taking place alongside the continuing growth in the use of Internet/Intranet technology. Most of the new developments allow the use of a browser interface, and many of them are accessible via the Internet. This meeting, being run jointly by the RSC Chemical Information Group and the Chemical Structure Association, will review recent developments and trends in the availability of tools for manipulating chemical structure and related data. Key presentations will provide overviews which will be supplemented by presentations and demonstrations from major systems suppliers. After the presentations, there will be a wine and cheese reception, which will provide a further opportunity to network and to view the various demonstrations. This one-day meeting presents a highly cost-effective way of keeping up to date with this fast-moving field. The cost is just 20 to members of the CIG or CSA and 25 to non-members.
