If you have a question about this talk, please contact Susan Begg .

A highly personal overview of NDDO type methods will be given. These methods exemplify semiempirical quantum chemistry in that they show that a combination of theory, reference data, and parameter optimization can result in theoretical structures of useful accuracy. When incorporated as computer programs, the result has been a set of tools that have become widely used. The focus of this talk will be on the philosophical aspects, covering the history of these methods, their steadily-increasing accuracy and range of applicability, current problems and limitations, and speculations regarding the possible futures of such methods.
