      abstract     = {We present a flexible and fully adaptive dynamic
                      load-balancing scheme, which is designed for particle
                      simulations of three-dimensional systems with short ranged
                      interactions. The method is based on domain decomposition
                      with non-orthogonal non-convex domains, which are
                      constructed based on a local repartitioning of computational
                      work between neighbouring processors. Domains are
                      dynamically adjusted in a flexible way under the condition
                      that the original topology is not changed, i.e. neighbour
                      relations between domains are retained, which guarantees a
                      fixed communication pattern for each domain during a
                      simulation. Extensions of this scheme are discussed and
                      illustrated with examples, which generalise the
                      communication patterns and do not fully restrict data
                      exchange to direct neighbours. The proposed method relies on
                      a linked cell algorithm, which makes it compatible with
                      existing implementations in particle codes and does not
                      modify the underlying algorithm for calculating the forces
                      between particles. The method has been implemented into the
                      molecular dynamics community code IMD and performance has
                      been measured for various molecular dynamics simulations of
                      systems representing realistic problems from materials
                      science. It is found that the method proves to balance the
                      work between processors in simulations with strongly
                      inhomogeneous and dynamically changing particle
                      distributions, which results in a significant increase of
                      the efficiency of the parallel code compared both to
                      unbalanced simulations and conventional load-balancing
                      strategies.},
