  2. Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) • Emerging models for technology and computation - bio-motivated computing and computational biology - quantum computing and communication - design and architecture of systems based on molecular-scale device, modeling and simulation techniques for nanoscale systems

  3. Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) • Emerging models for technology and computation • Deadline – March 15, 2004/ November, 2004 • Funding Amount - $12M • Collaboration

  4. Need for new computational models … • Limitations of current computing models Desirable characteristics … • Fast Quantum Computing • Reliable Biologically Inspired Models • Special abilities …

  5. Quantum Information Science Objective – unification of information sciences, quantum foundations and molecular biology • Quantum simulation • Fault tolerance • Error rate reduction • Decoherence effects • Entangled states • Quantum algorithms

  6. Biologically inspired computing and computational biology • Robustness • Ability to adapt • Self-repair/self-manage • Modular design • Structural stability Differential use of a set of core components

  7. Design, Modeling and Simulation Techniques for Nano-scale Systems • Bottom-up approach • build-up from atomic/molecular (nanoparticle) • building blocks and organize into functional • structures by self-assembly via DNA scaffolding. • The objective is to • organize these building blocks into interconnected arrays of functional nanoscale structures • have self error-correcting capabilities
