Things to check out at Bionetics 2010

Bionetics 2010 kicks off tomorrow morning in Boston. This is a great conference for nanonetworking people, with lots of interesting presentations. I would just like to highlight a few:

[Keynote talk] Radhika Nagpal (Harvard U.), Bio-inspired networks: Sensors, actuators, and cells, Dec. 1, 9:30-10:30.

Michael Moore (Osaka U.) et al., "Measuring distance with molecular communication feedback protocols," Dec. 1, 11:00-12:30 (last paper in session).

Nariman Farsad (York U.) et al., "Information rates of active propagation in microchannel molecular communication," Dec. 1, 2:00-3:40 (first paper in session).

Tadashi Nakano (Osaka U.) et al., "Interfacing living cells via molecular communication," Dec. 1, 2:00-3:40 (second paper in session).

Hope to see you in Boston.

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.
