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