CFP: IEEE NANO 2018 Special Track on "Brain-Inspired Circuits & Architectures". http://ieeenano18.org/brain-inspired-circuits-architectures/ The call for papers is now open to the Special Track on "Brain-Inspired Circuits & Architectures". This track is intended to disseminate the research on Brain-inspired Circuits and Architectures to the Nano community and therefore is broad and includes applications. Topics of Interest include, but are not restricted to: * Neuromorphic hardware * Embedded neural systems (including FPGAs) * Brain-inspired cognitive architectures, evolutionary robotics * Self-configuring , Self-healing or Self-aware systems * Memristor based computation and learning * Novel neural hardware applications * Deep Learning Hardware * Other topics in Brain-Inspired Circuits & Architectures Submission of Abstract deadline: 28th February 2018 (Extended deadline) Notification of Acceptance : 29th March 2018 Deadline for final papers: 31st May 2018 Guidelines: http://ieeenano18.org/abstract-submission-guidelines/ Track Chair: Dr. Jim Harkin, Ulster University Track Co-Chair: Prof. Liam McDaid, Ulster University Track TPC Members Prof. Alejandro Linares-Barranco, University of Seville. Spain Prof Alice Parker, University of Southern California, USA Dr. Martin Trefzer, University of York, UK Dr. Junxiu Liu, Ulster University, UK [cid:image003.jpg@01D36D24.502F1730] Abstract Submission is now open for IEEE NANO 2018! The 18th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology | Cork, Ireland | 23-26 July 2018 | www.ieeenano18.org IEEE-NANO is the flagship IEEE Nanotechnology conference. The conference scope spans nanoscience and nanotechnology, from nanomaterials and nanofabrication to nanosensors, nanoactuators and nanoelectronic/nanophotonic devices. The thematic focus for this year's event is Nano-Enabled Smart Things: new materials, devices and systems that can benefit humanity through applications in communications, energy, healthcare, food and environment. The conference themes will encompass experimental contributions (e.g., materials development and integration, device fabrication, characterisation and metrology) as well as modelling and simulation. We welcome contributions from both academic and industry-based researchers. Confirmed plenary speakers for IEEE NANO 2018 already include: Prof. John A. Rogers, Northwestern University Prof. Malini Olivo, A*STAR<https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_org&hl=en&org=15632547241111297385> Singapore Prof. Clivia M.
