Description

Recent developments in nanotechnology have enabled the manufacturing of low-power and low-cost nanoscale machines, i.e., nanomachines, with basic sensing, actuating and computing capabilities. Due to their size and simple structure, nanomachines individually have limited functionality. However, when they start to communicate to each other and construct nanonetworks, they are expected to collaboratively achieve more complex tasks and promise new solutions for several applications in biomedical, industry and military fields. Traditional computing and communications paradigms are not applicable due to the challenges posed by the physical laws governing this regime, and novel methods are required to realize nano networks.

The main goals of the 5th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (ACM/IEEE NanoCom 2018), are to increase the visibilty of this growing research area to the wider computing and communication research communities as well as bring together researchers from diverse disciplines that can foster and develop new paradigms for nanoscale devices. Due to the highly inter-disciplinary nature of this field of research, the conference aims to attract researchers and academics from various areas of study such as electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, bioengineering, biotechnology, materials science, nanotechnology, who have an interest in computing and communications at the nanoscale.

Author guidelines

Papers submitted to ACM/IEEE NanoCom 2018 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.

ACM/IEEE NanoCom 2018 accepts both regular and short papers.

Regular papers are limited to 6 pages including figures and references (maximum 1 additional page with over length page charge for an additional fee, if accepted). They should describe novel advances in topics within the scope of the conference.

Short papers are limited to 2 pages including figures and references. They provide an opportunity to present preliminary results and they will be presented in a poster session. 

All submitted papers will undergo a peer review process, coordinated by the Technical Program Committee.

Paper submissions should follow the ACM double-column format for conferences. Please be sure to use the latest ACM templates available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template (use the “sample-sigconf.tex” template).

Before using the 2017 ACM consolidated article template, you need to read the instructions file available at above site (instructions are provided for latex and word users). It is important that you follow the instructions provided.

ACM offers 24/7 author support for these templates through their vendor, Aptara. If you have TeX/MS-Word template problems or inquiries please contact acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com.

Please apply ACM Computing Classification categories and terms. The templates provide space for this indexing and point authors to the Computing Classification Scheme at: https://www.acm.org/publications/class-2012.
