Situation in 2002
  • A solid theorical basis for computational materials science is in place: Density Functional Theory (DFT)
  • The computational methodology has reached maturity in terms of generality, robustness, and speed: VASP code
  • The tools are integrated and easy to use: MedeA
  • Computations have become a reliable source of data: computations augment experimental databases
  • Computational science continues to benefit from the dramatic progress in computer technology: Moore’s law continues to hold
