Nanonetworks: The Future of Communication and Computation

Learn the basics―and more―of nanoscale computation and communication in this emerging and interdisciplinary field

The field of nanoscale computation and communications systems is a thriving and interdisciplinary research area which has made enormous strides in recent years. A working knowledge of nanonetworks, their conceptual foundations, and their applications is an essential tool for the next generation of scientists and network engineers. Nanonetworks: The Future of Communication and Computation offers a thorough, accessible overview of this subject rooted in extensive research and teaching experience. Offering a concise and intelligible introduction to the key paradigms of nanoscale computation and communications, it promises to become a cornerstone of education in these fast-growing areas.

Readers will also find:

• Detailed treatment of topics including network paradigms, machine learning, safety and security
• Coverage of the history, applications, and important theories of nanonetworks research
• Examples and use-cases for all formulas and equations

Nanonetworks is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and science, as well as practicing professionals looking for an introductory book to help them understand the foundations of nanonetwork systems.
