Introduction
We are pleased to inform you that the Computational Material Design and Quantum Engineering Laboratory, Research Group of Engineering Physics, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB), in cooperation with the Kasai Laboratory of Osaka University will organize the Asia Computational Materials Design Workshop. This workshop will provide lectures of leading-edge researches in Computational Materials Design (CMD) Science and hands-on practical training on quantum simulation. The invited speakers are top experts in this field.
Computational materials design is a computational approach aimed at de- veloping new materials with specified properties and functionalities.The basic ingredient is the use of quantum simulations to solve the materials science problems in order to design a material that suits this specification. CMD has the high potentiality to impact real industrial research and development.
Although the subject covered in this workshop is advance nevertheless we will present it to you step by step. The workshop will start with an overview of  possible roles of CMD in Indonesia, some CMD applications, CMD in surface interactions and nano-spintronics, and followed by the development of quantum simulators. For this workshop we purposefully chose Machikaneyama 2000, State-Senri and Naniwa for the hands on experience of CMD. Machikaneyama 2000 is an open source application, a sophisticated KKR-CPA-LDA ab initio electronic structure calculation code, State-Senri is a plane-wave based DFT codes, powerful in handling surface/interface and bulks systems, while Naniwa is a Quantum Molecular Dynamics Code. These codes are going to  be introduced in the workshop by the respective developers from Osaka University, Japan. We are looking forward to seeing you in the campus of Institute of  Technology Bandung. You may also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bandung.
Description
The workshop will provide hands-on experience on quantum simulation. We chose to use an open source application so that the participants can easily develop for their own purposes without an extra spending on application softwares. Although there is no computational language knowledge requirements, understanding any of it, preferably fortran or C and Java, will be useful. The lecture, practice, and tutorial will be given by the experts from both ITB and Osaka University
Objectives

After completing this workshop, the participants should be  familiar with DFT based ab initio computation, development of quantum simulators and the  computational material design paradigm in general.; should be able to use modern tool, Machikaneyama, for
quantum simulation and material design; should be able to conduct a quantum molecular dynamics based simulations.
