The 1st ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and 
Communication (ACM NANOCOM 2014) will be held on May 13th - 14th in 
Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The aim of the conference is to bring together 
researchers from diverse disciplines that can foster and develop new 
communications and computing paradigms for nanoscale devices. 

Due to this highly inter-disciplinary field of research, the conference 
aims to attract researchers and academics from various fields of study 
such as electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, biology, 
chemistry, physics, mathematics, bio-engineering, bio-technology, 
materials science, nanotechnology, who have an interest in computing 
and communications at the nanoscale.

We invite submissions to ACM NANOCOM 2014 with original (unpublished and 
not currently under review) and novel contributions on nanoscale 
communication in areas including (but not limited to), the following:

* Nano-Electromagnetic (EM) communication
[ Graphene based nano-antennas; modeling of EM channels; terahertz band 
communications.]

* Infrastructure for molecular communication nanonetworks
[ Molecular diffusion; flagellated bacteria; molecular motors.]

* Information theoretical approaches to nanoscale communication
[ Information/network information theory modeling; capacity bounds and
 theorems for various nanoscale channels; transceiver and modulation
 optimization; nanoscale and molecular source and channel coding.]

* Protocols and architectures for nano communications
[ Network  architectures;  topologies;  coverage/connectivity; relay, 
 broadcast and MAC mechanisms; synchronization; routing/addressing;
 reliable information coding; error control; energy efficiency.]

* Nano computing
[ DNA, enzyme, and membrane computing; nano/molecular electronics.]

* Internet of Nano Things (IoNT)
[ Service and application models for nano things; middleware design for 
 nanonetwork interface; security for nano communication networks; 
 wearable nanoscale sensor networks; software and programming 
 paradigms for nanonetworks.]

* Privacy, Security and Trust in nanonetworks

* Future emerging applications of nano/molecular communication
[ Smart Health and Big Data; Smart City; Sports Applications and 
 Systems.]


Submission Instructions and Important Dates:

________________________________________________________________

Papers submitted to ACM NANOCOM 2014 must be original, not previously 
published or accepted for publication elsewhere, and they must not be 
submitted to any other event or publication during the entire review 
process. Paper submissions should follow the ACM double-column format 
for conferences: 

(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). 

A maximum of 9 pages are allowed for each paper, all figures and 
references included. Submitted papers will undergo a peer review 
process, coordinated by the Program Committee. All accepted paper will 
be published by ACM and submitted for indexing by ISI, EI Compendex, 
Scopus, Google Scholar and many more. In addition to the main 
conference, ACM NANOCOM 2014 will also have a series of special tracks 
and poster sessions.
