SCOPE: 

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.


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 nano-technology & networking are 
solicited. 

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

1.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 issues

2.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

3.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

4.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 

5.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  

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

 Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper in English.
 Papers are limited to 5 two-column pages, in a font no smaller than 10-points. 
Style guides and further information are available on the conference website:
 http://www.nanonets.org. 
Presentation will be either oral or in poster format, as deemed appropriate by the 
Technical Program Committee.


PUBLICATION:

All submitted papers will be subject to a rigorous peer-review. 
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the Nano-Net Conference Proceedings,
 and made available online through ACM Digital Libary. 
A selected number of high-quality papers will be considered for publication 
in the ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC). 
Also, selected papers with a strong nanoscale device component will be reviewed for
 publication in a Special Section of the IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology. 

SPECIAL SESSIONS: 

Proposals for Special Sessions, especially focusing on future applications of 
nano-networks are encouraged. 
Potential Special Session organizers should submit a proposal of at most 5 pages,
 including scope/motivation of the session, list of invited papers (still subject
 to peer-review) and short-bio of the organizer(s). 
Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to: special-sessions at nanonets.org
