PURPOSE / HISTORY:

    This set of joint conferences is the largest annual
    gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
    engineering and applied computing.  Many of the 28 joint
    conferences in WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for
    presentation of advances in their respective fields.

    The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated
    research conferences into a coordinated research meeting
    held in a common place at a common time.  The main goal
    is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number
    of research areas that interact.  The model used to form
    these annual conferences facilitates communication among
    researchers in different fields of computer science,
    computer engineering and applied computing.  Both inward
    research (core areas of computer science and engineering)
    and outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary,
    and applications) will be covered during the conferences.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

    Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft
    paper (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10
    to 12) to H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2006. E-mail submissions
    in MS document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal
    submissions are also fine.)  All reasonable typesetting
    formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
    papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting
    format to prepare their papers for publication.)

    The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will
    be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages.  Papers must not have
    been previously published or currently submitted for
    publication elsewhere.  The first page of the draft paper
    should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
    postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and
    Fax number for each author.  The first page should also
    include the name of the author who will be presenting
    the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords.
    Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being
    submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.

    Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance,
    clarity, and soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by
    two researchers in the topical area.  The Camera-Ready
    papers will be reviewed by one person.

Can you describe the Damscaene process and its' use in making copper

interconnects? Also, where are you located? AS a rule I do not send

intellectual property to countrues outside the US. If Infineon or

Samsung have offices in the US, tell me. I will contact them.

-------------- Original message from Subramanya Mayya <ksmayya@...>:
--------------

As you know carbon nanotubes are being touted as future

interconnects as they have ballistic transport and are supposedly

resistant to electromigration compared to copper.  At the moment

infineon (I guess they don't have this name anymore as they have

been sold to some Taiwan company) is growing CNTs in via holes for

vertical interconnect.  However, the issue still remains regarding

horizontal interconnect and there is still no good method for

reliable horizontal growth.  Therefore there is this talk of using

CNT metal or other conducting material composite that can be

processed using conventional damascene process.  In this sense, your

  material might be interesting if they can be subjected to damascene

process widely used for copper in the semiconductor industries.

   Incase you can share further information on your material, like

how you synthesize, the microstructure and any information on

resistance of this material and processability, I would be

interested.

Nantero to roll out Carbon Nanotube memory in 2007

Sometime next year, you may be able to throw out your old memory

  chips and replace them with new faster and cooler carbon nanotube

(CNT) memory. Greg Schmergel, co-founder, president and CEO of

Nantero told TG Daily that his company is on track to bring drop-in

memory sometime next year. Using carbon nanotubes, the new memory

will allow future computers to instantly turn on, use less

electricity and run cooler.

Dear Datta Prasad

Our organisation does a lot of business research in
the field of nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology refers to the production and
application of devices and systems at the nanometr
scale.

Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary science
encompassing electrical and electronics engineering,
computer science, biotechnology, materials
engineering, chemistry and physics.

Glbal demand for nanoscale materials,  tools and
devices is expected to increase from an estimated
US$5.5 billion to US$ 28.7 billion in 2008.   Of
these, nanomaterials is the largest segment. The
largest markets include USA, Japan and Europe.
Currently, the indian nanotechnology industry is
valued at US $ 100m.

FYI Prey is a very badly written and poorly researched book.  If  you are
interested in the possibilities of nanotech from a science  fiction angle I
would suggest "Diamond Age".  However, in this  book the nanotechnology does not
go around saying "nanotechnology here"  the technologies speculated in the book
are embedded in the society,  just like it would be in reality.  Just another
reason why "Prey"  was such a poor book.

Subject: need information

hello friends,
   i am bala..m doing my 2nd year engineering in electronics and 
communication..i don have even the basic knowledge about  nanotechnology.i want
to know what exactly is nanotechnology.what will  b the impact of it in various
fields in the near future.(my interest in  nanotechnology was kindled while i
was reading a novel 'prey' which was  about some nanoparticles written by
michael crichton).what are the  developments in nanotechnology?
            thank you,

  i have to give seminar on nanotechnology.i m a final year student of
  computer engg.nanotech is very vast topic.so plz tell ma what should
  i cover in my seminar

hello  all
can we  define  nanotechnology
ya  its just  a technology  by which we  can work at
nanoscale level but  watsexactly  is the technology is

we  know
is it useful for  human kind
or  destructive for  human being
we  don't  know
as  we are able to  form nanobomb which are  too
destructive  than any other bomb
we can develop a system by which  we  can predict
human behaviour  orsort out  the probability of
disease on human being.
well all these
so anyone  has  answer  please  reply  me

Hello friends,

       Thanks for ur replies .

   I'm more concerned about the usage of NanoTechnolgy along with/in
Embedded/Expert systems.

    Even though i have used the word Embedded in the wrong place, i believe that
this is one of the elear implications of nanotechnology in the future.


   Also can you please mail me the basic idea on which the scientists are working
on artificial intelligence.

   Being a strong believer of "The Incompleteness Theorem", i strongly believe
that AI will turn out to be a failure in most of the cases.

   So i wanna know the basic idea of this concept.

   BYE.

   Sorry if my ideas are against ur ideas.

                  Yours
            RAVI TEJA.

   well, vinayak instead of asking if nanotechnology will be a boon or a doom,
think what you would do if you had such a stuff in your hands. lets all stop
blaming technology,  for its purpose will be served when in dextourous hands.

Considering we already have a working example of intelligence (the human
brain), plus advances in molecular technology should give us the ability to
disassemble objects to the molecular level within the next couple of decades, it
appears nearly inevitable that we will soon be able to reverse engineer the
human brain to create AI.

That's one basic concept, at any rate.

I suggest that you read some of the mountains of material on nanotechnology.

They cover all of your questions. Raising them here will give you nothing
that you cannot gather elsewhere. Try Wikipedia for a start.

Then again, frame more detailed questions that mean something, and in a way
that people can understand, and doubtless the experts will be able to
enlighten you.

    The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
    conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
    place at a common time.  The main goal is to provide a forum for
    exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact.
    The model used to form these annual conferences facilitates
    communication among researchers in different fields of computer
    science, computer engineering and applied computing.  Both inward
    research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and
    outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and
    applications) will be covered during the conferences.

    or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal submissions are also
    fine.)  All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later,
    the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a
    particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for
    publication.)

    The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited
    to 7 (IEEE style) pages.  Papers must not have been previously
    published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.  The
    first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper,
    name, affiliation, postal address, email address, telephone number,
    and Fax number for each author.  The first page should also include
    the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted)
    and a maximum of 5 keywords.  Also, the name of the conference that
    the paper is being submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.

    Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
    soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in field.
    The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.

Members of Program and Organizing Committees:

    The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World Academy
    of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific computing;
    artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases; simulation;
    software engineering; embedded systems; internet and web

Human Body The Canary In Nanotoxicology Coalmine

file photoby Staff Writers
Richland WA (SPX) Feb 19, 2006
There is growing consensus among scientists, regulators, politicians, industry
and the public that we need to know more about the possible harmful or adverse
effects of nanoparticles on human health.   Likewise, most agree that these
incredibly small materials can behave quite differently from conventional
materials. Nonetheless, neighborhood stores feature products that promise
benefits from these near-atomic level materials, from paints and cosmetics to
toothpaste and sunscreens. But, could we be putting human health at risk by
exposing consumers to potentially toxic materials?   To investigate the damage
potential of sub-micron sized particles, S.K. Sundaram and Thomas J. Weber,
scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
in Richland, Wash., have harnessed living cells to monitor responses to a
variety of biologically active test agents. They presented their findings Friday
at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual
  meeting.   "Our process requires that live cells be grown on an infrared
transparent substrate giving us an opportunity to closely examine the biological
effects in living cells," said Sundaram. Live cell Fourier transform infrared,
FTIR, spectroscopy offers several attractive features for these investigations.
These include the potential to detect biologically active nanoparticles without
any prior knowledge of cell signaling pathways affected by them or need of a
contrast agent to detect the biological response. Thus, live cell FTIR
spectroscopy is expected to be a sentinel of exposure to help identify the
physico-chemico properties of nanoparticles that mediate biological activity,
without bias of what that biological activity represents.   The PNNL scientists
are also developing infrared transparent chemistries that are expected to
improve FTIR measurements in live cell experiments. "We believe this report
outlines the first use of FTIR spectroscopy to examine the biological
  response of living cells to nanoparticles, and expect this technology will
enable us to identify chemical changes associated with the biological response,"
said Weber. FTIR spectroscopy measures a broad spectrum of chemical bonds and
will provide information that is complementary to genomic and proteomic
approaches.   FTIR spectra are captured in minutes in live cell studies,
offering a tool to rapidly detect whether nanoparticles are biologically active.
This information can be used to prioritize nanoparticles for further study to
ascertain the nature of the biological activity in terms of toxicity.   A
broader approach underway at PNNL for discovering what environmental
nanomaterials can do once they enter the body – and how they enter and where
they go – is part of a large collaborative effort funded by NIH, DOE and private
industry. This research is aimed at developing predictive respiratory system
models for laboratory animals and humans. A key component of this
  multi-institution collaborative effort is a $10 million, 5-year Bioengineering
Research Partnership, BRP, funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute
that is designed to devise 3-D imaging and computational models that provide
unsurpassed detail of respiratory systems in humans and other mammals.  
Advancements in medical imaging, data analysis and computation have increased
"the speed and accuracy of developing detailed models of the complete
respiratory system," reported Richard Corley, PNNL staff scientist and director
of the multi-institutional BRP. "New imaging techniques also show promise for
validating particle deposition models. Atlases of airway geometries and
functional characteristics are also being constructed to facilitate analyses of
variability, reduce uncertainties in animal to human extrapolations and
contribute to a more quantitative representation of environment-disease
interactions."   Related Links

Tiny Fuel Cells May Provide Power To Many Consumer Goods

file photoby Staff Writers
Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Feb 19, 2006
Carnegie Mellon University's Prashant Kumta, a professor of materials science
and biomedical engineering, is developing microscale fuel cells that use
methanol instead of expensive and unstable hydrogen, which is difficult to
produce in large quantities.   "We envision a fuel cell system about the size of
a cigarette lighter that could be refueled by inserting a small cartridge of
methanol. So we are essentially developing a more efficient catalyst," Kumta
said.   At present, most methanol fuel cells use noble metals like platinum and
ruthenium for power. But researchers say those metals are extremely expensive.  
The direct methanol fuel cell is powered by methanol and water. When the
methanol and water make contact with a catalyst in the fuel cell, they break
down into carbon dioxide, positively charged protons and negatively charged
electrons. The protons are attracted by a special membrane that allows them to
pass through, while blocking the path of the electrons. The electrons
  must pass through an external circuit to get around the membrane, creating an
electrical current. The fuel cell produces carbon dioxide, which is vented away,
and water, which can be recycled to use with additional methanol.   "One problem
with these fuel cells is that not all the methanol gets properly catalyzed and
that methanol can seep through the membrane, reducing its efficiency," Kumta
said.   Kumta and his group are developing nanostructured catalyst compositions
using novel chemistry methods that exhibit excellent catalytic activity compared
to conventional standards catalysts.   The technology is currently being
extended to develop the nanostructured catalysts on innovative nano-crystalline
support systems that will likely exhibit much better reliability and stability
compared with present systems, according to Kumta. Portable electronic devices,
such as cell phones, personal digital assistants and laptop computers, may one
day become the first widely used consumer items
  to take advantage of fuel cells, industry analysts report.   Related Links

   now more positive news, to brighten your day..

   Farming Provides Wildlife Habitat And Reduces Global Warming

file photoby Staff Writers
East Lansing MI (SPX) Feb 19, 2006
When people hear the word "agriculture," most think of food. But the benefits of
agriculture are much more than farm fresh corn or dairy products. Now scientists
are investigating how farmers can manage their land to offer everyone more
environmental benefits, and whether farmers could be paid for providing these
benefits.
   "Agriculture, which includes planted forests, is the world's largest
human-managed ecosystem," said Scott Swinton, professor of agricultural
economics at Michigan State University. "There is a huge area of land that
people manage for food, fiber and fuel – these are all marketed products with a
value attached to them. What we want to know is if we can also manage
agriculture for things that people like and appreciate, but don't have markets,
such as cleaner air, cleaner water, less global warming, wildlife habitat and
aesthetics – many people enjoy seeing the green, open space of farmland in their
communities."   Swinton speaks at a symposium entitled "Harvesting Ecosystem
Services from Agriculture" today at the American Association for the Advancement
of Science annual meeting. The symposium will be moderated by Frank Lupi,
associate professor of agricultural economics and fisheries and wildlife at MSU.
They and the other participants will discuss the concept of ecosystem services
  – the services provided to humans by the biological processes in the ecosystem,
in this case, agriculture.   Swinton, who studies sustainable agriculture,
thinks the idea of ecosystems services is timely. As international trade becomes
increasingly more open, many of the protections given to agricultural products
are being reduced. By looking at the entire gamut of products (both marketed and
unmarketed) that agriculture provides, decision-makers can make more informed
choices about whether, how and why farming can be supported. The principles
behind the ecosystem services idea could allow farmers to be supported if they
successfully improve the environment and strengthen nature's benefits to
society.   "It's pretty exciting to be involved in this," Swinton said. "For
many years, the focus of sustainable agriculture has been on avoiding negatives:
water pollution, soil erosion, pesticide residues, etc. In the ecosystems
services concept, we're focusing on services that people
  appreciate and enjoy. Since the amount of land involved in agriculture is so
large, we have a strong motivation to provide farmers incentives to support the
ecosystem."   The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, launched by the United
Nations in 2001, defines four broad categories of ecosystem services.  
Provisioning services are the products from ecosystems, including genetic
resources, food and fiber, and fresh water.   Regulating services are the
benefits people get from the regulation of ecosystem processes, including water
supplies, temperature moderation (think how trees around a house keep it cooler
in the summer) and some human disease regulation (having enough nutritious food
keeps people healthy and reduces diseases such as rickets and scurvy).  
Cultural services are the non-material benefits people receive from ecosystems
through spiritual enrichment, cognitive development, reflection, recreation and
aesthetic experiences. Put simply, hiking trails, camping areas, a lake to
  swim or fish in, are all benefits from nature.   Supporting services are
ecosystem services that are necessary for all other ecosystem services. Some
examples: production of plant materials and microbes that enrich the soil and
allows crops and other plants to grow; oxygen production, which makes it
possible for humans and animals to breathe; and water cycling, which nourishes
plants and animals and refills lakes, streams and reservoirs.   "We know that
low-input, sustainable agriculture produces improved water and soil quality,
contributes to climate stability and boosts beneficial insect populations,
compared to conventional crop production practices," Swinton said. "Now we want
to figure out which policies would encourage farmers to provide these ecosystem
services, as well as how much citizens are willing to pay for the services."

Scientists have been listening out for radio signals from other

Margaret Turnbull at the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC
looked at criteria such as the star's age and the amount of iron in
its atmosphere.

Her top candidate was beta CVn, a Sun-like star 26 light-years away.

Dr Turnbull had previously identified about 17,000 stellar systems
that she thought could be inhabited.

From these, she has selected five stars that look most likely to
support intelligent extraterrestrial life forms - if they exist.

"I've chosen five to advertise the very best places to move to if we
had to, or to point the telescope at," she told the BBC.

PURPOSE / HISTORY:

    CNAN'06 is an international conference held simultaneously
    (ie, same location and dates) with a number of other
    joint conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World
    Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and
    Applied Computing).  WORLDCOMP'06 is the largest annual
    gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
    engineering and applied computing.  Each of the joint
    conferences in WORLDCOMP is the premier conference for
    presentation of advances in their respective fields.
    WORLDCOMP'06 is composed of the following international
    conferences: Parallel & Distributed Processing Techniques &
    Applications; Scientific Computing; Grid Computing &
    Applications; Security & Management; Artificial Intelligence;
    Machine Learning; Software Engineering Research & Practice;
    Programming Languages & Compilers; Internet Computing; Semantic
    Web & Web Services; Computer Design; Real-Time Computing
    Systems & Applications; Embedded Systems & Applications; Wireless
    Networks; Pervasive Systems & Computing; Image Processing,
    Computer Vision, & Pattern Recognition; Computer Graphics &
    Virtual Reality; Modeling, Simulation & Visualization Methods;
    Computer Games Development; Frontiers in Education in Computer
    Science & Engineering; Foundations of Computer Science;
    e-Learning, e-Business, Enterprise Information Systems,
    e-Government, & Outsourcing; Data Mining; Information &
    Knowledge Engineering; Bioinformatics & Computational Biology;
    Computing in Nanotechnology; Engineering of Reconfigurable
    Systems & Algorithms; Communications in Computing.

    The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated
    research conferences into a coordinated research meeting
    held in a common place at a common time.  The main goal
    is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number
    of research areas that interact.  The model used to form
    these annual conferences facilitates communication among
    researchers in different fields of computer science,
    computer engineering and applied computing.  Both inward
    research (core areas of computer science and engineering)
    and outward research (multi-disciplinary, Inter-disciplinary,
    and applications) will be covered during the conferences.

PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:

    Each technical session will have at least 6 paper
    presentations (from different authors).  The session
    chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their
    sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
    selecting, ...  The names of session chairs will appear
    as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and
    on the cover of the books.

    Proposals to organize technical sessions should include
    the following information: name and address (+ E-mail)
    of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of

All, I am a high school junior interested in Nanotechnology.  I was
wondering what colleges you are attending, or received your education
from, and what you majored in to get into the Nano field.  I was not
sure what would be the best engineering major to take.

Please share any info you may have regarding latest use of
nanotechnology in healthcare, specifically surgery. I'm interested in
getting funded for a grant, and also curious about current research.
Thanks!

I think Materials Science and Engineering is a nice choice, if you want to study
Nano-related things. Material is the basic of research works.
Best wishes!
