The 113th KARC Colloquium

The 113th KARC Colloquium was ended. Thank you for the participation.

Date&Time	Monday, September 26, 2011 　14:00〜15:00
Place	Conference Room, 3F , Research Building 2,Advanced ICT Research Institute
Lecturer	" Information-theoretic problems in molecular and nanoscale communication"
Speaker	Andrew W. Eckford (Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
Abstract	Recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology have made it possible to manufacture customized nanoscale devices, such asswarms of nanorobots. However, manufacturing is not enough: asignificant remaining challenge is to solve the communication problemamong these devices, which would allow them to coordinate their actions. Furthermore, the nanoscale communication environment is rather different from the systems that are usually studied by information and communication theorists. In this talk, I will introduce the nanoscale communication problem from an information-theoretic perspective,focusing on molecular communication, which mimics the way in which microorganisms communicate. Mathematical models and achievable-rate results will be presented, and important open problems will be discussed.
