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).
