Sorry, I have forgotten to list the other possibilities !

SDPD is extremely hot topic as may be deduced from the
increasing number of new methods as defined by apparition
of new expression in titles of recent papers :

general Monte Carlo approach - 1997
simulated-annealing method and a high degree of molecular flexibility - 1997
optimised data collection and analysis strategies - 1997
genetic algorithm - 1997
anomalous scattering difference - 1997
probablility distributions for estimating the |F|s - 1997
computationally assisted - 1997
texture-based method - 1997
computer prediction - 1996
simultaneous translation and rotation of a structural fragment within the
unit cell - 1996
combination of high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction and molecular
modelling techniques - 1996
generalized rigid-body Monte Carlo method - 1996
solving crystal structures with the symmetry minimum function - 1995
static-structure energy minimization method - 1995
computer modelling approach - 1995
tangent formula derived from Patterson-function arguments - 1995
real-space scavenger - 1994
Bayesian approach - 1994
optimal symbolic addition program - 1993
entropy maximisation and likelihood ranking - 1991-1992
Monte Carlo - 1991

Most of these are from UK to which we are indebted.
