	CyberChemistry, or Just how fast are chemists anyway?

				John Rumble

The Internet explosion has obviously come to chemistry, with effects that
are becoming quite familiar: virtual libraries, daily international
collaborations, instant access to new results, and cyberconferences.
Chemistry already was the most computerized science; and now the Net.  What
does this all mean?  How will these changes really affect chemistry?  Will
we have niftier new compounds, better reaction pathways, more complete sets
of properties?  In this talk I will examine CyberChemistry from several
perspectives and look at some trends that seem to be developing.  Topics
will include computational chemistry, data estimation schemes, online
journals, online handbooks, combinatorial chemistry, and new types of
collaboration.  I will also identify some major bottlenecks that, if left
unaddressed, will prevent taking advantage of the new technology, as well
as some potential solutions to those bottlenecks.
