Chemoinformatics scope

This is not to say that we deem these topics not to be important. On the contrary, we think that those interested in chemoinformatics should strive to obtain a basic knowledge of these subjects. We even think that all professionals in natural sciences and engineering should in future obtain a minimum of training in these fields during their studies. However, presentation here of those aspects of informatics would go beyond the scope of this book. 

There has been an explosion of new chemoinformatics tools and techniques. Each technique has some utility, scope, and limitations, as well as resistance to use by experimentalists. There is no compilation describing all the modem tools that are available. This guide will allow both experts and non-experts to know how and when to best use these technologies. 

The book offers scope for academics, researchers, and engineering professionals to present their research and development woiks that have potential for apphcations in several disciplines of chemoinformatics and science. Contributions ranged from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to gain understanding of the material and/or stmctural behavior of new and advanced systems.
