3rd International Conference on Nano-Networks (Nano-Net 2008)

damira — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:08:09 +0000

Short description

The Nano-Net conference positions itself at the intersection of two worlds, namely, emerging nano-technologies on one-side, and network/communication theory on the other side. The standing question that this conference will address is: What are the new communication paradigms that derive from the transition from micro- to nano-scale devices? The related degrees of freedom and constraints associated with these new technologies will change our notions about efficient network and system design. Nano-Net provides a multi-disciplinary forum for the discussion of new techniques in modeling, design, simulation, and fabrication of network and communication systems at the nano-scale.

Sponsors: Create-Net, ICST, EU (IST-FET), ENIAC
Industry Sponsor: STMicroelectronics

After weeks of looking, there doesn't seem to be a source of information available for companies that have proprietary IT technology in the greentech, cleantech, green nanotech, and other technology areas that have been built to product ready-to-sell. We're talking about environmentally-sensitive remediation, alternative energy, water conservation, cleanup, emissions reduction, energy recovery, insulation, oil-spill recovery, fuel efficiency, LEED construction, effluent reclaiming, and other technologies that nearly everyone agrees will benefit the planet and the human race.

With oil at $120/gallon, production from oil sands (bitumen) now makes sense, and Canada's Alberta province has become the USA's major oil source--creating a boom in Edmonton, Calgary, and Ft. McMurray. Economic councils and governmental centres are in place to foster IT development in these areas, but we're not hearing from the producers of greentech products or those who are looking for specific technology solutions for their green issues.

We're conducting a survey and writing a white paper for our consulting clients on the environmental impact of the oil sands boom in Alberta and would like to include case studies of companies on either side of the border--or offshore from North America--who have products that apply to that field and to the spillover that's taking place in population growth, water supply, construction, and other factors for a climate with a seasonal swing from -50F to +100F (-47C to +38C).

We would also like to hear from companies looking to spend money on these solutions.
Do the products you need exist to meet the challenge? Do you need them? Let us know.

What does Arizona State University have to offer?

Arizona State University is pleased to announce the Professional Science Master’s (PSM) in Nanoscience degree program. The program at ASU is part of the national PSM organization featured at http://www.sciencemasters.com and is listed at http://www.gradschools.com/ under a wide range of subject categories. It is also part of the Western Region Graduate Program (http://wrgp.wiche.edu) - a program which allows students from most western states to pay fees at in-state tuition rates.

What is the link between business/industry and ASU?

The collaboration between industry and Arizona State University is very robust. The PSM in Nanoscience program is no exception. A PSM Advisory Board that includes representatives from organizations across the region will help maintain the link between the program and industry needs. Additionally, the Advisory Board will foster opportunities for student internships and support and influence the program in other ways beneficial to both parties. With an ever-increasing demand for nanoscience and nanotechnology, the time for professional growth in this area is at hand. Please take time to consider furthering your/your staff’s education and expertise through the Professional Science Master’s in Nanoscience degree at ASU.

What is a Professional Science Masters Degree in Nanoscience?

The program exists as a partnership between the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry to meet the growing need for skilled nanoscience professionals in industry both regionally and nationally. Although the program is ideal for recent science graduates, it is especially tailored for working professionals who wish to retrain into nanoscience, nanotechnology, and related areas.

Why a degree in nanoscience?

Nanoscience is a prime target of both federal funding and high-tech industrial investment. It is expected to have profound impact on a broad range of technologies such as nanoelectronics, biosensors and nanomedicine over the coming decade.

How long does the program take?

The PSM degree consists of a 30 credit accelerated (cohort-based) curriculum. A full time program can be completed in 12 months (including two summer sessions). A part-time two-year program allows prospective students and their employers flexibility in scheduling studies.

Does this program fit my needs?

The PSM program at ASU has three recommended program options: Nanomaterials & Nano-electronics, Biophysics & Bionanotechnology, and Biophysics, Biochemistry, and Sensors. You choose the emphasis that works best for you.

Where can I find additional information?
