Scope
The Nano-Net conference positions itself at the intersection of two
worlds, namely, emerging nanotechnologies
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 multidisciplinary
forum for the discussion of new techniques in modeling, design,
simulation, and fabrication of
network and communication systems at the nano-scale.
Papers
The conference invites original technical papers that have not been
previously published and are not
currently under review for publication elsewhere. Contributions
addressing all subjects pertaining to nanotechnology
& networking are solicited. Suggested topics include, but are not
limited to, the following:
-
Networks-on-Chip (NoC):
Network architectures and topologies, NoC performance and trade-off
analysis, Energy efficiency and
power management, CAD flows for NoCs and MP-SoC platforms, Fault
tolerance and reliability issuess
- Innovative System Interconnects:
Nano-technologies and devices for on-chip interconnects (CNTs, semic.,
metallic and DNA-templated nanowires), Molecular, optical and wireless
interconnects, Interconnects for non-charge-based devices
- Architectures and Systems for Nano-Networks:
Implications of nano-networks on processor and memory architectures,
New computing paradigms for
nano-networks, Hybrid CMOS-nano network systems, Self-organization in
nano-scale systems
- Novel Information Theory Aspects of Nano-Networks:
Re-configurability of nano-networks, Statistical mechanics approach to
nano-communications,
Routing/addressing issues in nano-networks, Nano-coding, Applications
of complex networks theory
- Modeling, and Simulation of Nano-Networks:
Physical characterization/modeling of nano-scale interconnects and
devices, Fault-tolerant aspects of
nano-devices, Self-healing properties of nano-networks, "Nano-CAD",
Bio-inspired aspects
- Nano-Scale Wireless Communications:
Nanoscale Electromagnetics, Propagation models for nanoscale
communications, planning and
optimization, nanoscale antennas, nano-arrays, EMI aspects at
nanoscale, reconfigurability issues
All accepted papers will be made available in IEEE Xplore,
and then be indexed by Engineering Information (EI)
