Nanotechnology is providing a new set of tools to the engineering community to design nanoscale components with unprecedented functionalities. The integration of several nano-components into a single entity will enable the development of advanced nanomachines. Nanonetworks, i.e., networks of nanomachines, will enable a plethora of applications in the biomedical, environmental, industrial and military fields. To date, it is still not clear how nanomachines will communicate. The miniaturization of a classical antenna to meet the size requirements of nanomachines would impose the use of very high radiation frequencies, which would compromise the feasibility of electromagnetic nanonetworks. Therefore, a new wireless technology is needed to enable this paradigm. The objective of this work is to establish the foundations of graphene-enabled electromagnetic communication in nanonetworks. First, novel graphene-based plasmonic nano-antennas are proposed, modeled and analyzed. The obtained results point to the Terahertz Band (0.1-10 THz) as the frequency range of operation of novel nanoantennas. For this, the second contribution in this work is the development of a novel channel model for Terahertz Band communication. In addition, the channel capacity of the Terahertz Band is numerically investigated to highlight the potential of this still-unregulated frequency band. Third, new communication mechanisms for electromagnetic nanonetworks are developed. These include a novel modulation based on the transmission of femtosecond-long pulses, new low-weight codes for channel error prevention in nanonetworks, a novel symbol detection scheme at the nano-receiver, a new energy model for self-powered nanomachines with piezoelectric nano-generators, and a new Medium Access Control protocol tailored to the Terahertz Band. Finally, a one-to-one nano-link is emulated to validate the proposed solutions.

This proceedings book gives a new vision and real progress towards more difficult problems resolution. In trying to solve the problems we face every day in the complex world we are living, we are constantly developing artificial systems and increasingly complex middleware. Indeed, the research works contained in this book address a large spread of nowadays topics like IoT architectures, communication and routing protocols, smart systems, software defined networks (SDNs), natural language processing (NLP), social media, health systems, machine intelligence and data science, soft computing and optimization, and software technology. This book, which is a selective collection of research papers accepted by the international program committee of the 6th International Symposium on Modelling and Implementation of Complex Systems (MISC 2020), considers intelligence (CI) more as a way of thinking about problems. It includes a mix of old efficient (Fuzzy, NN, GA) and modern AI techniques (deep learning and CNN). The whole complex systems research community finds in this book an appropriate way to approach problems that have no algorithmic solution and finds many well-formulated technical challenges.

The Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) is a system of nano-connected devices, objects, or organisms that have unique identifiers to transfer data over a computer or cellular network wirelessly to the Cloud. Data delivery, caching, and energy consumption are among the most significant topics in the IoNT nowadays. The book addresses data routing and energy consumption challenges and proposes nano-sensing platforms in critical Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). This book covers both design and implementation aspects of data delivery models and strategies in a smart application enabled by the WBAN. It focuses on smart data delivery approaches and energy savings aspects in a reliable IoNT systems.

This book begins with a historical overview of the evolution of mobile technologies and addresses two key questions: why do we need 6G? and what will 6G be? The remaining chapters of this book are organized into three parts: Part I covers the foundation of an end-to-end 6G system by presenting 6G vision, driving forces, key performance indicators, and societal requirements on digital inclusion, sustainability, and intelligence. Part II presents key radio technology components for the 6G communications to deliver extreme performance, including new radio access technologies at high frequencies, joint communications and sensing, AI-driven air interface, among others. Part III describes key enablers for intelligent 6G networking, including network disaggregation, edge computing, data-driven management and orchestration, network security and trustworthiness, among others. This book is relevant to researchers, professionals, and academics working in 5G/6G and beyond.
