Call for Editorial Board Members: Special issue of JSAC

I am pleased to announce that the Nanocom group will be participating in an upcoming special issue of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC), focusing on emerging technologies. Tentatively, the special issue will have a submission deadline in June 2012, with publication in mid-2013.

All researchers with expertise in nanoscale, molecular, and quantum networking are invited to form the editorial board. Board members will have responsibility to arrange peer reviews for papers in their areas of expertise (through up to two rounds of review), make preliminary assessments of papers based on those reviews, and to assist in the final selection of papers for inclusion in the special issue.

If you are interested to serve on the editorial board, please send an email to Andrew Eckford, along with a CV or brief statement of qualifications, as soon as possible.

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.
