Nanoinformatics

Nanoinformatics is the science and practice of determining which information is relevant to the nanoscale science and engineering community, while developing and implementing effective mechanisms for collecting, validating, storing, sharing, analyzing, and applying that information. Nanoinformatics also involves the utilization of networked communication tools to launch and support efficient communities of practice. Nanoinformatics is necessary for intelligent development and comparative characterization of nanomaterials, for design and use of optimized nanodevices and nanosystems, and for development of advanced instrumentation and manufacturing processes. Nanoinformatics also fosters efficient scientific discovery and learning through data mining and machine learning techniques.

A Roadmap for Nanoinformatics

A Nanoinformatics Roadmap will create a community-owned program for developing coordinated activities in multiple subdomains of nanotechnology that are both complementary and lead to community-wide standards and tools for ongoing research and development of nanotechnology.

Nanoinformatics 2010 is a key component of an overarching roadmapping project. All community members are invited to participate in this event. Abstracts for papers and posters are due by September 15, 2010. Registration, abstract sumbission, and venue information will be available shortly on the Web site.

Nanoinformatics Bibliography: an effort to pull together all the literature relevant to nanoinformatics. If you are aware of references to be included, please create an account and contribute.
