Description
28th IUPAP Conference on Computational Physics in 2016

The Conference on Computational Physics (CCP) is held every year under the auspices of the C20 Commission for Computational Physics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP).

The purpose of the conference series is to bring together computational scientists, leading academics, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of Computational Physics. The conference also provides the premier interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, practical challenges and solutions adopted in the field of Computational Physics.
  
For more than 25 years since its establishment, this important conference had not come to Africa. In 2013 the South African Institute of Physics (SAIP), through the leadership of Prof Nithaya Chetty successfully bid for this prestigious conference to be brought to Africa for the first time. Hence the 2016 International Conference on Computational Physics (CCP2016) will be held in South Africa.
 
All areas of Computational Physics will be covered, including Statistical Physics, Complex System and non-linear dynamics, Soft Matters, Polymers and Biological Physics, Computational Biology, Quantum Many Body and Strongly Correlated Systems, Material and Nano Sciences, Quantum Computing, Astrophysics and Space Physics, Plasma, Gravitation and Cosmology, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, High Energy, Nuclear and Particle physics, Fluid Dynamics, Oceanography and Climate modelling, Geophysics and Geomechanics, Computational Physics Education, Software and Hardware Development. Now that South Africa is co-hosting the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which, when completed in 2022, will be the world's largest scientific experiment, there will be a special session on computational astrophysics and big data astronomy at CCP2016.

Conference Format
The conference format will include plenary lectures (1 hours each), and parallel sessions comprising invited talks (30 min each) and contributed talks (20 min each) as well as poster presentations.
