SYNOPSIS:
This international conference is the second in a series that focuses on forefront challenges in physics, namely the fundamentals of nuclear structure and reactions, the origin of the strong inter-nucleon interactions from QCD, the nonperturbative regime of relativistic quantum field theory, and computational nuclear physics with leadership class computer facilities to provide forefront simulations leading to new discoveries.

This year's conference will celebrate James Vary's 70th birthday. James has made important contributions to nuclear physics and computational physics, mentored a number of students and postdocs, and served the science community in a number of elected and appointed positions. The conference topics -- reflecting James's research interests -- encompass a broad area of fundamental physics and high-performance computing.
