Abstract
AMPAC™ is the product of many people’s efforts
spanning many years. We have included those workers to the extent possible below.
The vast majority of the initial method and code development were carried out by
Professor Michael J. S. Dewar and researchers working under his direction at the
University of Texas at Austin. Since its introduction in 1985, other individuals and
research groups have developed algorithms and computer codes that interface with
and enhance the capabilities of AMPAC, and many of
these have kindly been contributed to AMPAC as it
now stands. Their contributions are also listed. We intend to update and expand
this section of the manual as appropriate. A bibliographical listing of literature
references is included in Chapter 17, References.
