3 rd Memristor and Memristive Symposium
August 28-29, Turin, Italy

WELCOME MESSAGE
On behalf of the 2012 CNNA Organising Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome
you in Torino, to the International Workshop on Cellular Nanoscale Networks and their
Applications (August 29 th -31 st , 2012). CNNA 2012 is the 13 th event in the series of IEEE
CNNA biannual international workshops started in Budapest in 1990.
In addition, the 3rd Memristor and Memristive Symposium, will be held on August 28 th -29 th ,
before the beginning of CNNA 2012. This year, we are delighted to host these two
conferences for the first time in the Politecnico di Torino.
The world of computational devices and architectures has witnessed dramatic changes in
the last few years for the emergence of many-core processors and memristive systems.
Their long-term significance lies in their enabling potentials for designing nano CNNs, and
intelligent machines, with learning and adaptive capabilities. Even more fundamental is
their nonlinear dynamics that underpins the biological basis of life itself.
CNNA 2012 covers a wide range of topics and technical challenges, in view of the growing
interest in mega-processor nanoscale computing. The 3 rd Memristor and Memristive
Symposium will be a multidisciplinary forum for researches to grasp the latest advances in
the field of memristor and memristive circuits and their latest breakthrough applications.
The total number of submissions was 83. The technical programme includes a rich
presentation of the latest technology breakthrough in CNNs and Memristors and is
organised into 4 regular, 10 special, and 1 demo sessions. Four special sessions are
devoted to memristor theory, devices and architectures. The programme comprises
fourteen plenary lectures, given by distinguished invited speakers, with a strong industry
involvement – including IBM, Intel, FIAT, STMicroelectronics – and startup companies,
mainly focused in technologies beyond CMOS. In particular the 3 rd Memristor and
Memristive Symposium and the CNNA 2012 Workshop will be opened by keynote lectures
of Leon O. Chua, Tamas Roska and Daniel Hammerstrom.
We would like to thank all members of the organising and scientific committee for their
constant support and valuable work and all institutions and companies that sponsor both
conferences for their generous support, in particular the “Cassa di Risparmio di
Torino” (CRT) Foundation, the Chamber of Commerce of Torino and the “Compagnia di
San Paolo” Foundation.
We also hope that, in addition to appreciate the technical programme, you will enjoy your
stay in Torino and find the time to visit the campus of the Politecnico di Torino and our
beautiful city. Torino was the first Capital of Italy and in occasion of the 150 th anniversary of
the unification of Italy, that we celebrated last year, many historical buildings were
completely restored. Among them, the Valentino Castle, an historical residence of the
Royal family, donated to the Politecnico di Torino, where we will have the welcome
reception.
We hope your stay here will be both rewarding and memorable.
