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.
Call for Regular Papers
We solicit regular paper submissions describing original, completed, and unpublished work not accepted for publication elsewhere and currently not under review by any other event or journal.
Call for Work-in-Progress Papers
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.
Call for Demos
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.
Paper Submission
Papers submitted to ACM NanoCom 2024 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. Please be sure to use the latest ACM templates available at
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template (use the “sample-sigconf.tex” template). All submitted papers will undergo peer review, as coordinated by the Technical Program Committee. The review is single-blind, that is, the author names should be listed on the submission.
Please find below the page limits (including all figures and references) for the different submission types:
- Regular papers are limited to 6 pages, but authors may submit a 7-page manuscript for review. Camera-ready regular papers that are 7 pages in length will be subject to an extra page charge of $100.
- Work-in-progress papers are limited to 2 pages and the title should begin with
" Work-in-Progress: ".
- Demo papers are limited to 2 pages and the title should begin with "Demo: ".
Accepted regular, work-in-progress, and demo papers will be included in the conference proceedings (in the ACM Digital Library). Each accepted paper must be presented in-person at the conference. Also, virtual demonstrations require an attendance in-person.
Submissions are now accepted through HotCRP:

ACM Publication Policies
By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.
Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2022. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.
