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'sleading exponents of computational chemistry. This event also follows previous successful TACC conferences, for example, the 2004 TACC conference in Korea.
