Registering the Amica electronic structure code in the extensible computational chemistry environment

We describe the integration and use of the Amica software package ("Atoms & Molecules In Chemical Accuracy") within the Extensible Computational Chemistry Environment (Ecce). Amica is capable of accurately solving the electronic Schrodinger equation of small atoms and molecules using terms that are linear in the interelectronic distances, r(12), on multireference level of theory, but it requires expert knowledge to configure and execute its algorithms. Ecce is a comprehensive suite of tools that support the computational chemistry research processes of computation setup, execution, and analysis through a convenient graphical user interface. Additionally, Ecce was architected with mechanisms to integrate alternative electronic structure codes. The successful integration of Amica within Ecce validates the architecture of the latter and brings the high-accuracy capabilities of Amica to a wider audience.
