DESCRIPTION:The Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) is an innovative field 
 of research located at the intersection of nanotechnology\, biotechnology 
 and information and communication technologies. It aims to enable the seam
 less integration of biological and nanoscale systems into the Internet in 
 order to develop advanced biomedical applications\, environmental monitori
 ng sensors and energy-efficient networks. At the core of IoBNT are biocomp
 atible nanodevices that can function in living organisms to monitor or mod
 ify specific biological processes in real time. These devices communicate 
 with each other and with the Internet to collect\, process and transmit da
 ta\, opening up entirely new possibilities for health monitoring\, disease
  control\, environmental protection and many other areas. By merging biolo
 gy and nanotechnology\, IoBNT promises to push the boundaries of what is t
 echnically possible while improving the efficiency and sustainability of t
 echnological solutions.\n\nDNA-based nanonetworks are a promising concept 
 and implementation technology for the IoBNT. In this approach DNA is manip
 ulated to form structures known as tiles\, which self-assemble to much mor
 e complex structures such as nano devices and even full nano networks whic
 h function autonomously. Such networks communicate through molecular messa
 ges which are\, in the very same way\, also made of tiles. Such messages a
 re even able to perform computations which can be used for disease detecti
 on and treatment.\n\nIn this talk\, we will give a brief introduction into
  the IoBNT\, but will then mainly concentrate on DNA-based nanonetworks. W
 e introduce the basic principles\, especially DNA tiles\, self assembly\, 
 and in-message computation. We explain\, using a few examples\, how such n
