Where to read and publish work in nanoscale networks

For reading more about nanoscale networking, and publishing your own work, here are some suggested venues:

Journals

The new Elsevier journal Nano Communication Networks is the only journal dedicated to this field.

Related papers can also be found in IEEE Transactions on Nanobioscience [IEEE Xplore], particularly on the molecular and bio-inspired side.

A recent special issue [IEEE Xplore] of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications covered bio-inspired networking, including molecular communication.

Conferences

The International ICST Conference on Nano-Networking (Nano-Net) is a key conference; the call for papers is currently open for the 5th meeting of this conference in Atlanta (deadline October 29). Nano-Net is commonly published through Springer: here are the 2008 and 2009 proceedings.

Work in this field is also frequently published in the International ICST Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems, to hold its fifth meeting in Boston this December. The call for papers for this year is closed. Bionetics is also commonly published through Springer.

Nano, Molecular, and Quantum Networking

This is the official blog of the IEEE ComSoc Emerging Technical Subcommittee on Nano, Molecular, and Quantum Networking.

The scope of this subcommittee is communication on the nano-scale, including nano-scale media and wireless nano-scale media in support of nano-robotics. Example media include carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, biological structures, and harnessing the advantages of quantum and hybrid classical/quantum effects for applications such as security and coding. This includes the goal of aiding the development of smart materials, nanoscale bio-medical applications, and nano-robotics.

This subcommittee exists to support the emerging community of engineers, academics, scientists and others who are developing communications on the nano-scale. Activities such as special sessions, symposia, tutorials and workshops in leading conferences will be vastly expanded to help provide the community with continuing updates about the burgeoning field of nanotechnology and nano-scale telecommunications in particular. For an example, see www.nanonets.org.

A goal of this committee will be to provide a network for required diverse specialties, some of which are in fields typically found outside the IEEE, to come together to advance nano-scale communications. Joint events, special journal issues and dedicated topical meetings will also be organized with relevant IEEE societies.
