What is it about?
The purpose of the book is to give a state-of-the-art account of the atomic scale modelling of structurally disordered (glassy) materials using molecular dynamics methods. Case examples are provided where the application of these methods has led to significant advances in glass science.

Why is it important?
The book covers a wide range of systems, from network-forming glasses such as oxides and chalcogenides, to phase change memory materials. This variety calls for the application of appropriate simulation methods, either classical or first-principles, to predict the correct structure and material properties.
Perspectives
It's been fascinating to experience at first hand the symbiotic relationship between experiment and simulation in developing realistic interaction models for techniques that can access relevant length and time scales.
