Summary

Computational simulations are an essential tool for the study of complex systems, ranging from biological relevant molecules, such as proteins or DNA, to spin glasses or the hot plasma inside nuclear fusion reactors. In the BIFI 2008 conference, leading scientists in these fields gathered to communicate and discuss the most recent findings with a wide audience of physicists, chemists and biologists.
