Abstract
Molecular Communication (MC) is a highly interdisciplinary research field whose success requires the close collaboration between researchers from different fields of science. To support and highlight this interdisciplinary character, the Workshop on Molecular Communications (MolCom;
https://molecularcommunications.org/
) has been held annually since 2016 to provide the opportunity to meet, and share work and experience. The Workshop tries to promote research beyond the conventional disciplinary boundaries between engineering, the physical sciences, natural sciences, and medicine.
期刊介绍:
As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical “circuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of other new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.
