This workshop's main theme is "Cyber Gateway for Nano Discoveries and Innovation." It is about how to conduct innovative research and development using cyberinfrastructure for large-scale computations in nano-science and nanotechnology. Several major subjects around the theme are (1) sustainable computing for nano discovery and exploration, (2) defining a future roadmap in computational nanotechnology, (3) developing emergent cognition to accelerate innovative applications, and (4) catalyzing the change and reformation, recovery, and reinvestment for future energy, education, health care, and security, as well as neutralizing and fertilizing the business research developments for domestic and global economics blooming. Nanotechnology is an exciting field with many potential applications. Its impact is already being felt in materials, engineering, electronics, medicine, and other disciplines. Current research in nanotechnology requires multi-disciplinary knowledge, not only in sciences and engineering but also in HPC. This workshop offers academic researchers, developers, and practitioners an opportunity to discuss various aspects of HPC-related computational methods and problem solving techniques for nanotechnology research.
