IEEE Technical Committee on Nanoelectronics, Nanocomputing and Nanoarchitectures

1. IEEE Technical Committee onNanoelectronics, Nanocomputing and Nanoarchitectures Ramesh Karri rkarri@poly.edu (ECE Dept, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY 11201

2. The NANO Technical Committee leadership team: • Chair: Ramesh Karri (rkarri@poly.edu) • ECE Dept, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn • Vice Chair: Alex Orailoglu (alex@cs.ucsd.edu) CSE Dept, Univ. of Calif at San Diego • Standing Committees Chair: Steve Levitan (steve@ee.pitt.edu) ECE Dept, University Pittsburgh • Strategy/planning: Konstantin Likharev, (klikharev@notes.cc.sunysb.edu) Stony Brook University • Membership: Valeriu Beiu, Washington State University (vbeiu@eecs.wsu.edu) • Conferences and Meetings: Dr. Kang Wang, UCLA (wang@ee.ucla.edu) • Industry Chair: Dr. Shamik Das, (sdas@mitre.org), MITRE Corporation • Finance Chair: Dr. Rohit Kapur (rohit.kapur@synopsys.com) Computer society liaison to IEEE nanotechnology council • Secretary: Sandeep Shukla, Virginia Tech, (shukla@ece.vt.edu)

3. Mission Statement • The NANO technical committee will organize a vibrant community of researchers focusing on research and development in system level issues including architectures, computational models, reliability and CAD. These focus areas have traditionally been fostered by IEEE Computer Society • Nanocomputing: novel computational paradigms based on emerging nanotechnologies such as molecular electronics, quantum electronics, single-electronic and nanowiring and nano/CMOS hybrids • Nanoarchitectures: novel computing architectures based on emerging nanotechnologies • Reliability: defect tolerance, fault tolerance and reliability modeling and evaluation for emerging nano architectures • CAD for nano: Design and test method and tools for simulation, modeling, design capture etc.

4. NANO technical committee’s focus complements the broader mission and nanotechnology focus of IEEE Nanotechnology council. • IEEE Computer Society Liaison to IEEE Nanotechnology council. Dr. Rohit Kapur is on the NANO TC committee. He will establish synergistic relationship between the two committees. • We will continue establishing synergistic relationships between TC NANO and other IEEE Comp Soc TCs as well.

5. The NANO TC will: • sponsor and co-sponsor workshops, symposia and conferences in related topical areas. • we expect NANO TC to sponsor the NANOARCH workshop (www.nanoarch.org). • organize a flagship conference for NANO TC • organize new workshops in related topical areas and organize special issues. • publish a newsletter that will be single source for important announcements (call for papers, special issues etc) • start a magazine/journal/transactions as appropriate • create tutorials targeting a technical as well as a non-technical audience

6. TC NANO activities • Organized NANOARCH 2005-2010 • 40-60 participants • is profitable • TC is the sponsor with ACM SIGDA • Nano TC meeting at NANOARCH 2007 • Sponsored additional workshops/symposia • NANONETS 2007 –Technical sponsor

7. TC NANO activities contd.. • Organized an industry session at NANOARCH 2007 • Nantero, Molecular Imprints, Motorola, IROC (Europe), NIST • Organizing special issues • IEEE Trans. Nanotechnology • ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing
