Description:
The series of International Schools/Symposia for Space Plasma Simulation (ISSS) was initiated by URSI in order to promote science and technology related to space physics via computer simulations. Previous ISSS's were held in Japan (Kyoto), USA (Hawaii), France (Nice), and in 1997 again in Japan (RASC Kyoto).

The aim of ISSS-6 is to bring together scientists working in the area of MHD and particle simulations or interested in applying simulation methods in their research. The topics of the meeting include planetary and cometary physics, wave-particle interactions, turbulence, MHD modelling of magnetospheres and ionospheres, MHD modelling of coronal processes, magnetic reconnection, shocks and boundary layers, dusty plasmas, and advanced simulation techniques, computing technology, codes and vizualisation tools.

In ISSS-6 talks (invited and contributed papers, presented in oral and poster sessions) will be given on simulation results and theory, advances in space plasma, solar and solar system physics, but also on astrophysical and laboratory plasma applications . These papers will be supplemented by observational papers on results from recent spacecraft missions, laboratory and other appropriate experiments.
