Contents

• Intro: What is coarse-graining and who needs it?
• CG and multiscale approaches.
• Systematic versus heuristic methods to obtain coarse-grained models
• What is the range of validity of a CG model, and how to compare it to experiments/ab-initio methods?
• A specific CG-Model from Roy and Maroncelli (RM) : The ionic liquid BMIM PF6:
• Development and validity of the RM model
• Application of the RM to capacitor systems
• Comparison of the RM model to other primitive coarse-grained simulation models
