Chemical Structures

These are the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Chemical Structures, held at Leeuwenhorst Congress Centre, Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands, in June 1990. The conference was jointly sponsored by the Chemical Structure Association, the American Chemical Society Division of Chemical Information, the Chemical Information Groups of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the German Chemical Society. The purpose of the conference was to bring together experts and an international professional audience to discuss basic and applied research and development in the processing, storage, retrieval and use of chemical structures, to focus international attention on the importance of chemical information and to foster co-operation among major chemical information organizations in North America and Europe. Subjects covered included integrated in-house databases, substructure searching methodology, spectral databanks, new technologies (microcomputers, CD-ROM, parallel processing and expert systems) and chemical reactions.
