>> The goal of this symposium is to advance our understanding of how
>> computational science and engineering can accelerate progress in  
>> scalable
>> electrochemical energy storage.  Electrochemical energy storage has  
>> great
>> promise for electric vehicles that can help us to end our  
>> dependence on
>> petroleum imports, and for integration of renewable electricity  
>> generation
>> into our transmission grid.  Both of these outcomes have the  
>> potential for
>> strong, positive impact on society and each is dependent upon  
>> breakthroughs
>> and advances in electricity storage technologies.
>>
>> Motivated by society¹s great need for advances in energy-storage  
>> technology,
>> and by the demonstrated achievements and tremendous potential for
>> computational science and engineering, a consortium of IBM Research  
>> and
>> three U.S. National Laboratories (Argonne, Oak Ridge, and Pacific  
>> Northwest)
>> will hold a symposium on 3-4 May 2010 at Argonne National  
>> Laboratory to
>> discuss how computational science can make advances in  
>> electrochemical
>> energy storage science and technologies to accelerate innovation,  
>> decrease
>> costs, and improve the safety of advanced, scalable electrochemical  
>> energy
>> storage concepts and systems ³beyond lithium ion².
>>
>> Details about the symposium and registration information can be

>> Inspired by the successful 2009 IBM Almaden Institute symposium on  
>> ³Scalable
>> Energy Storage: Beyond Lithium Ion,² held August 26-27, 2009, at  
>> IBM¹s
>> Almaden Research Center (http://www.almaden.ibm.com/institute/ 
>> 2009/), a
>> consortium of IBM Research and U.S. National Laboratories will hold  
>> a series
>> of two symposia in 2010 to bring together scientists and engineers  
>> focused
>> on transformation advances in scalable energy storage, with  
>> emphasis on (1)
>> computational perspectives May 3-4 at Argonne, and (2) materials
>> perspectives, October 7-8 at ORNL.

>> Computational Science Perspectives on Energy Storage ³Beyond  
>> Lithium Ion²
>>
>> Our May 3-4 symposium will bring together leaders in theory,  
>> modeling &
>> simulation, and experiment to focus on recent achievements and future
>> prospects for computational science to dramatically advanced  
>> electrochemical
>> energy storage.
>>
>> The development of computational science over the past 20 years has  
>> been
>> impressive.  In nearly every area of science, computational  
>> simulation is
>> now essential to studying complex systems.  Yet there remains much  
>> to be
>> gained from simulations that can accelerate the development of new,  
>> advanced
>> materials and processes that can improve the efficiency and economy
