Connectionists: MONACOM 2013

[Pietro Lio']

Dear All,

The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Molecular and Nanoscale 
Communications workshop (MoNaCom 2013) will be held in conjunction with the 
International Conference on Communications (ICC), June 9-13, 2013 in 
Budapest, Hungary. The general chair of the workshop is Prof. Falko 
Dressler from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. TPC co-chairs are 
Pietro Lio' from the University of Cambridge, UK, and Michael Moore from 
Osaka University, Japan. As before, the workshop is focused on nano and 
molecular networks that interconnect nanomachines. The full CFP is 
available at: http://monacom.tssg.org/cfp/.

In order to have a successful workshop, we would appreciate your submission 
of workshop papers, distributing the CFP to colleagues, and encouraging 
colleagues to submit.

Submission guideline: Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 
standard IEEE conference style paper via the EDAS submission system 
(http://edas.info/N13467). Papers should be written in English with a 
standard length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including 
figures, without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional 
page with extra charge if accepted).
