Since the first applications of computer in chemistry in the early 1960's, "computational chemistry" has evolved today to be at the vanguard of most advances in chemistry, material science, physics, geology, biology and medicine. Its impact in chemistry can be noted from the fact that within four decades of its existence, five of the top ten most highly cited publications in 125 years of JACS are related to computational chemistry. In addition to technical advances in computers and algorithms, the phenomenal impact of computational chemistry is due to the dedicated and sustained efforts of many individuals. In this regard, we felt that it would be befitting to organize a symposium Theory and Applications of Computational Chemistry in 2008 gathering a large number of the world's leading exponents of computational chemistry. This event also follows
previous successful TACC conferences, for example, the 2004 TACC conference in Korea.

Following the tradition of TACC conferences we shall invite a significant number of leading scientists to give preliminary talks. There are also many parallel sessions and poster presentations to allow conference participants present their research works.
