It is now almost impossible to do anything relevant without computers and computational techniques. The so- called interdisciplinary boundaries of the sciences and engineering have been blurred. The search for new knowledge has risen to a new level that necessitates the crossing of boundaries between previously almost unrelated disciplines. The computing revolution is blazing new frontiers for science and engineering. Computational Materials Design (CMD ® ) CMD ® 1.M. Rahman, Rifki Muhida, Riza Muhida, H.
