Accelrys Holds Annual Meeting of Nanotechnology Consortium to Drive Customer Efficiencies
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN DIEGO, CA, September 18 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Accelrys,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ACCL), a leader in Computer Aided Nanodesign(TM) (CAN),
announced its 5th Annual Meeting of the
Nanotechnology Consortium. Scientists from leading companies and
research organizations from across the world will get together in San
Diego, California October 15-17, 2008, to discuss the latest software
developments supporting materials and process development.
A key focus of this Consortium is on developing tools and protocols that
bridge the gap between atomistic simulations and engineering applications
in the area of reaction kinetics. In particular, the software toolset is
being extended to provide chemical engineering parameters such as rate
constants, and enable engineering and molecular approaches to connect via
methods such as Kinetic Monte Carlo.
"The solutions are designed to reduce costs, improve efficiency and enable
faster innovation which is what our customers are demanding in this
competitive landscape," said Mark J. Emkjer, president and chief executive
officer of Accelrys.
About Nanotechnology Consortium
Recognizing the challenges facing organizations who are undertaking
advanced materials and nanotechnology research, Accelrys, its scientific
advisors and customers joined together to form the Accelrys
Nanotechnology Consortium in July 2004. The Consortium gives members
the opportunity to work in collaboration with scientific thought-leaders to
steer Accelrys' development of leading-edge modeling and simulation
software technology. It aims to give members a competitive market advantage
by providing exclusive rights to technology. Following a very successful
Phase I, supported by over 30 members worldwide, Phase II is now under way.
Phase II focuses on technology integration, with goals to deliver flexible
software solutions that address the advanced materials and
nanotechnology-based industries' need for a more engineering-oriented
approach to nanotechnology, delivering Computer Aided Nanodesign (CAN). For
