Nanotechnologies provide the scientific and engineering communities with unprecedented tools to not only interface with existing systems at their most fundamental level, i.e., the sub-atomic and molecular scales, but to create new paradigms that leverage physical phenomena present at micro- and nano-scales. Example applications range from ultra-high-performance computing systems based on massive networks on chip and quantum computing and communication architectures, to transformative healthcare systems and human-enhancement technologies that leverage synthetic biology. Enabling such applications requires interdisciplinary teams spanning the fields of material science, physics, biology, chemistry, electrical and computer engineering, and computer science.

The 10th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication (ACM NanoCom 2023) builds on the nine previous editions' efforts to bring together experts who are not afraid of breaking barriers and bridging gaps across disciplines, both in academia and industry. ACM NanoCom 2023 will highlight novel research results and breakthrough ideas, and identify directions for short- and medium-term exploitation. Novel theoretical and experimental research contributions are welcome. The conference will feature keynotes at the forefront of this interdisciplinary field, contributed and invited papers, work-in-progress papers, and demo presentations.

ACM NanoCom 2023 is endorsed by the Technical Committee on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications of the IEEE Communications Society.
