Summary

Within the area of nano-technology, the study of nano-scale and bio-inspired integrated computing has attracted major attention in recent years. This is the first book to specifically focus on the computing aspects of nano-technology for engineers, computer engineers, and biomedical engineers who are interested in designing faster and denser computing architectures and algorithms. The books also serves as an ideal text for graduate students in engineering, biology, and the life sciences.
