Welcome

Computer    simulations    play    a    major    role    in    science nowadays.    Together    with    Theory    and    Experiments    it allows   a   better   comprehension   of   natural   phenomena   by giving     informations     otherwise     unreachable.     Indeed, computer   simulations   are   applied   in   almost   every   branch of   science,   from   physics,   chemistry   and   biology   to   the study   of   complex   multidisciplinary   problems,   such   as   in material science. Today   Brazil   has   a   large   community   of   researchers   who use   computer   simulations   in   the   development   of   their research   projects.   In   this   context,   the   Brazilian   Meeting on    Simulational    Physics    has    been    held    since    1997, agglomerating     researchers     from     Brazil     and     abroad, working    in    the    most    diverse    branches    of    physics.    The first   BMSP   took   place   in   Belo   Horizonte   in   1997,   two   years   later   the   second BMSP   was   also   held   in   Belo   Horizonte.   The   third,   fourth   and   fifth   editions   of the   event   were   held   in   Ouro   Preto   in   2003,   2005   and   2007.   In   2011,   the sixth   edition   of   the   BMSP   was   held   in   Cuiabá,   followed   by   the   seventh   in João   Pessoa   in   2013   and   the   eighth   in   Florianópolis   in   2015.   The   ninth edition celebrated the 20th anniversary of the event in 2017 in Natal. In   this   tenth   edition   the   event   returns   to   Minas   Gerais   and   will   be   held   in Belo   Horizonte   (opening)   and   Ouro   Preto   as   a   Satellite   Meeting   of   the   27th     International     Conference     on     Statistical     Physics,     StatPhys     27,     of     the International    Union    of    Pure    and    Applied    Physics    (IUPAP)    that    will    take place   in   Buenos   Aires,   Argentina,   from   July   8th   through   12th,   2019.   The   X- BMSP   will   gather   scientists   specialized   in   simulation   in   the   most   diverse areas   of   physics,   chemistry,   biology   and   materials   science,   to   present   the latest    advances    in    methodology    and    techniques    applied    to    the    study    of problems    through    computer    simulations.    The    event    will    also    promote interaction   among   scientists   working   in   this   area,   with   the   goal   of   advancing the   methods   and   techniques   available   today.   This   topic   covers   the   interests of   researchers   who   traditionally   have   different   experiences   and   belong   to communities   that   share   similar   interests   but   have   little   communication   with each   other.   Finally,   this   workshop   will   be   an   opportunity   for   the   community working   in   this   area   in   Brazil   to   interact   directly   with   scientists   of   similar interests,   coming   from   Brazil   and   abroad.   In   view   of   the   wide   variety   of techniques   covered,   the   event   will   promote   pedagogical   lectures   given   by   two invited   professors   in   the   form   of   mini   courses   for   students   of   various   levels, as   well   as   oral   communications   and   panels   to   be   presented   by   all   invited participants and collaborators.
