Synthetic Biology - Human Body and Nanoscale Computing

Technical Committee on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications

Synthetic Biology amd Nanotechnologies empower the scientific and engineering communities with groundbreaking tools, enabling them not just to interface with existing systems at their most fundamental levels—the sub-atomic and molecular scales—but also to forge new paradigms harnessing physical phenomena inherent in micro- and nano-scales. From pioneering ultra-high-performance computing systems built on extensive chip networks and quantum computing and communication architectures, to revolutionary healthcare solutions and human-enhancement technologies rooted in synthetic biology, the spectrum of applications is vast. Achieving these advancements necessitates interdisciplinary collaboration, with teams bridging the realms of material science, physics, biology, chemistry, medicine, electrical and computer engineering, and computer science.

The 11th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (ACM NanoCom 2024) continues the legacy of its ten previous editions by uniting experts ready to break barriers and bridge gaps across disciplines, both in academia and industry. ACM NanoCom 2024 aims to showcase novel research results and breakthrough ideas, while also identifying directions for short- and medium-term exploitation. Contributions encompassing both theoretical and experimental research are encouraged. The conference will feature keynote presentations at the forefront of this interdisciplinary field, alongside contributed and invited papers, work-in-progress papers, and demo presentations.

We invite submissions in areas including (but not limited to) the following:

Electronic, photonic, electromagnetic (terahertz, optical), and acoustic nanoscale computing and communication, including:
- Innovative device concepts for signal generation, modulation, radiation, detection, filtering, and amplification
- Propagation and photothermal modeling of nanoscale electronic, photonic, electromagnetic, and acoustic signals
- Signal processing, communication, and networking protocols
Molecular computing and communication in biological, chemical, or mechanical environments, including:
- Molecular computing and communication component design, integration or reprogramming through synthetic biology
- Propagation modeling of molecular information inside and outside of the biological environments
- Signal processing, communication, and networking protocols
- Semantic molecular communication and information, channel modeling, and DNA encoding
Quantum computing and communication, including:
- Design and modeling of quantum computing and communication architectures
- Communication theoretic approaches for quantum communication
- Quantum communication protocol design
Multi-modal interfaces between nanoscale electronic, photonic, electromagnetic, acoustic, and molecular systems, including mechanisms, devices and protocols.
Simulation tools and experimental platforms for nanoscale computing and communication, including early reporting of data-sets
Integration of nano- and macro-scale communication systems
Applications: Internet of Nano-Things and Bio-Nano-Things, nanosensor networks, systems-on-chip, nanomedicine, tissue engineering, medical and non-medical applications, nanonetworks in exotic materials such as functional meta-surfaces, and meta-materials
Disease-oriented solutions to diagnose and/or treat specific pathologies, such as neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, cognitive impairments, motor disorders, cardiovascular pathologies, gastrointestinal diseases such as Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, pancreas or colon cancer, to name a few.

We invite abstract submissions to share late-breaking or work-in-progress results. This provides the chance for in-depth discussions with other conference attendees and are therefore especially well-suited for obtaining feedback on ongoing research or controversial ideas. Work-in-progress papers will be presented as posters in a dedicated session.

We invite demo submissions that briefly describe the demonstration, how it supports innovative research results, and its value for the community. We solicit demonstrations that can be shown live at the conference, but we can also offer the opportunity for a virtual demonstration via livestream or remote interaction, as appropriate. The demo session offers a unique opportunity to demonstrate ground-breaking prototypes, illustrate innovative solutions, and discuss pertinent emerging technologies with the audience. Demos will be presented in a dedicated session and each demo will be accompanied by a poster.

A Review on Bio-Cyber Interfaces for Intrabody Molecular Communications Systems

The recent progress made on implantable micro-scale devices are covered and the perspective of improve them to foster the development of new theranostics based on data collected at the nanoscale level is introduced.

The recent advancements in bio-engineering and wireless communications systems have motivated researchers to propose novel applications for telemedicine, therapeutics and human health monitoring. For instance, through wireless medical telemetry a healthcare worker can remotely measure biological signals and control certain processes in the organism required for the maintenance of the patient’s health state. This technology can be further extended to use Bio-Nano devices to promote a real-time monitoring of the human health and storage of the gathered data in the cloud. This brings new challenges and opportunities for the development of biosensing network, which will depend on the extension of the current intrabody devices functionalities. In this paper we will cover the recent progress made on implantable micro-scale devices and introduce the perspective of improve them to foster the development of new theranostics based on data collected at the nanoscale level.
