Conferences

The 8th International Conference on Computer and Communication Systems will be held in Guangzhou, China, from 21 to 24 April 2023, which is co-sponsored by Guangzhou University, IEEE Guangzhou Section PHO Chapter and Guangzhou Section, hosted by Guangzhou University.

At present, all sectors of society attach great importance to the research on the integration of communication technology and computing technology, and have demonstrated significant achievements. Based on resource sharing, integration technology has shown great development potential. Computers are critical for communication and are the centerpiece of information technology. To further improve the development of computer and communication systems, ICCCS is set up to create a communication platform to achieve this goal. ICCCS is an IEEE conference that has taken place from 2015 to 2021. It originated in Kanyakumari, India, and it aims to serve as a premier forum for the presentation of technological advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied computer and communication systems. The second ICCCS was held in Kraków, Poland, in July 2017. The third conference was held at the Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya, Japan, in April 2018, and the fourth conference was held in Singapore in February of 2019. In 2020, due to the severe impact of COVID-19, ICCCS2020 became the first virtual conference, which created a web platform for all the authors to attend all the sessions and activities. Even in such a difficult time, around 250 authors still attended the conference. As the situation improved in 2021, ICCCS2021 was successfully held onsite in Chengdu, although online participation was also offered to ensure attendees from all over the world could be involved.

The ICCCS conference is now a well-known event worldwide and the number of paper submissions and attendees is increasing every year. In addition, given the success of the previous six conferences, we are confident that ICCCS2023 will achieve greater success. The organizing committee invites prospective authors to submit original contributions to ICCCS2023.

Sensor systems exhibit extraordinary sensitivity for detecting physical, chemical, and biological entities at the micro/nanoscale. The detection and analysis of molecules on miniature devices that have many possible applications in health, environment, analysis, and security is particularly exciting. A new class of label-free micro and nanosensors is starting to emerge allowing us to observe dynamic processes at the single molecule level directly, with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution and without significantly affecting the natural and functional movements of the molecules. Micro- and nanosensors by virtue of their small interaction length probe molecules over a dynamic range often inaccessible by other techniques. Their small size enables an exceedingly high sensitivity, and the application of quantum optical measurement techniques can allow us to approach or surpass classical limits of detection. Advances in optical and electrical measurement methodology, laser interferometry, quantum optics, micro/nanofluidics, control of molecules and reactions at the nanoscale, DNA origami/synthetic molecular machines, and in vivo and wearable sensing materials all contribute to the rapid progress of the field of Single-Molecule Sensors and nanoSystems. It is this convergence of previously often disparate fields that is accelerating the advancements in micro and nano-sensing.

This conference will bring together researchers in the rapidly advancing field of Single-Molecule Sensors and nanoSystems. The conference focusses on the most recent advances in micro and nano-sensing techniques that have either demonstrated single-molecule detection or that claim single-molecule detection capability on sensor chips in the longer term.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Single-Molecule Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Forces.
• Micro/Nanofluidics/Chemical control at the Nanoscale.
• Molecular Machines, Synthetic Biology, and DNA Origami.
• Single-Molecule Sensors and Sequencers.
• Molecular Electronics.
• From Quantum Sensing to Quantum Biology.
• Nanothermodynamics in experiments and theory.
• Computational approaches.
