Nano Communication Networks Journal (ISSN: 1878-7789)

Description

Nano Communication Networks Journal is an international, archival and multi-disciplinary journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in all aspects of nano-scale networking and communications. Theoretical research contributions presenting new techniques, concepts, or analyses, applied contributions reporting on experiences and experiments, and tutorials are published.

Starting in 2010, it is planned to have four issues per year.

Nano Communication Networks is a part of COMNET (Computer Networks) family of journals within Elsevier. The family of journals covers all aspects of networking except the nano-scale communications subject which is the target for this newly proposed journal.

Topics of Interest:

Nano Communication Networks will be committed to the very timely publication of very high-quality, peer-reviewed, original papers that advance the state-of-the art and applications of all aspects of nano-scale networking and communications. Survey papers reviewing the state-of-the-art of timely topics will also be considered.

1. Architectures and Systems for Nanocommunications
2. Novel Information Theory Aspects of Nanocommunications
3. Communication Protocols for Nanonetworks
4. Nano-addressing and Nano-coding for Communications
5. Molecular Communication aspects such as Ion Signaling, Molecular Motors, Flagellated Bacteria, Nanorods, Pheromones, Axons, Light Transducers, Capillaries
