Abstract

<P>The Nano&#8211;Net conference positions itself at the intersection of two worlds, namely, emerging nano&#8211;technologies on one&#8211;side, and network/communication theory on the other side&#046; The standing question that this conference will address is: What are the new communication paradigms that derive from the transition from micro&#8211; to nano&#8211;scale devices? The related degrees of freedom and constraints associated with these new technologies will change our notions about efficient network and system design&#046; Nano&#8211;Net provides a multi&#8211;disciplinary forum for the discussion of new techniques in modeling, design, simulation, and fabrication of network and communication systems at the nano&#8211;scale&#046; </P> <P><B>Keywords:</B> </P> <LI><B>Applications for Nano&#8211;Networks:</B> Wireless nanoscale transmitters and receivers, nano&#8211;sensors and actuators, nanorobotics, medical and in&#8211;vivo imaging and sensing, lab on a chip, swarm micro and nano&#8211;inspection, embedding sensing, etc&#046;&#046;&#046; <LI><B>Modeling, Simulation, Standards and Architectural Aspects of Nano&#8211;Networks:</B> Physical characterization/modeling of nano&#8211;scale interconnects and devices, Fault&#8211;tolerant and reliability of nano&#8211;devices, Self&#8211;healing properties of nano&#8211;networks, CAD flows for NoCs and MP&#8211;SoC platforms, NoC performance and trade&#8211;off analysis, Energy efficiency, Bio&#8211;inspired aspects&#046; <LI><B>Novel Information and Graph Theory Aspects of Nano&#8211;Networks:</B> Network architectures and topologies, Statistical mechanics approach to nano&#8211;communications, Routing/addressing issues in nano&#8211;networks, Nano&#8211;coding, Applications of complex network theory, Self&#8211;organization in nano&#8211;scale systems, Modeling of Nano/Bio Communication Channels&#046; <LI><B>Device Physics and Interconnects:</B> Nano&#8211;technologies and devices for on&#8211;chip interconnects (CNTs, graphene nano&#8211;ribbons, semic&#046;, metallic and DNA&#8211;templated nanowires), Molecular, optical and wireless interconnects, Interconnects for non&#8211;charge&#8211;based devices, emerging 3D&#8211;interconnect technologies&#046; <LI><B>Nano&#8211;Robotics:</B> Communication systems and networking protocols for sub&#8211;inch robotic systems, including low&#8211;bandwidth coordination schemes for nano&#8211;robot teams and range and bearing devices for inter&#8211;robot relative positioning&#046; <LI><B>Bio&#8211;nano Applications:</B> Bio&#8211;Micro/Nanoelectronics, Molecular scale chemical and biosensors, Bio&#8211;MEMS technology, Data and power management, Nano&#8211;scale and molecular communications and information processing, Information theory analysis of biological communications, Molecular Computation using molecular cells, Chemical computing&#046;</LI>
