This volume contains the proceedings of an interdisciplinary meeting which attracted participants from the fields of physics, engineering, applied mathematics, and geology. The subjects covered range from microscopic theories of friction to large-scale stick-slip motion in earthquakes, with static and dynamic aspects of granular material in between. The main emphasis is on computational aspects, but experiments and basic theoretical concepts are also covered.

Information on our detailed genetic code is increasing at a dramatic pace. We need to understand how that is translated into the three-dimensional structure of proteins in order to make use of the information. Progress in this field is hampered by the lack of precise force fields and of efficient codes for finding equilibrium configurations of heteropolymers. However, there has been rapid advance in recent years, and this volume discusses that.
