| Over the last few years emerging technologies, such as CNT, SET, QCA, spin and molecular electronics, have asserted a prominent role for future innovation in the electronics and computer industry at nanometer scale. Novel computational paradigms (such as quantum and reversible computing) and new manufacturing/fabrication processes (based on DNA-like self-assembly) are being introduced to the technical community. Nano-device, circuit and system implementations for diverse applications are currently being investigated to implement the next generation of electronics and digital computers.
The NDCS Workshop, at its first year, will provide an open forum for presentations in all aspects of design, manufacturing, test and reliability of innovative nano-circuits and systems.
The technical program is available at http://ndcs08.arces.unibo.it/program.htm
The program includes 6 regular sessions with 18 oral presentations.
The sessions cover the following topics: Devices and Assembly, Memories, Magnetic and QCA Computing, QCA Reliability, Testing and Biological Fabrication.
