IEEE Global Information Infrastructure Symposium (GIIS 2009) June 23th ~ 25th, 2009, Hammamet, Tunisia http://www.ieee-giis.org/
Due to the many requests for extension, the GIIS 2009 organizing committee has agreed to extend the paper submission due date to April 1st 2009. After this date no further extension will be granted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Submission deadline: April 1st, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope and Overview:
GIIS 2009 follows the success of GIIS 2007 (www.ieee-giis.org/GIIS2007). The scope of GIIS consists of interrelated set of technical, policy, and social issues implicit in the development of national and international (global) information infrastructures. GIIS aims at identifying and promoting the exchange of knowledge on these interrelated issues and provides liaison to bodies in the global society, technical for and international standards. GIIS 2009 will stimulate interdisciplinary conference sessions and workshops to discuss, built and further the use of national and international information infrastructures. The conference also aims at providing a forum for the participants to broaden professional contacts and for technical discussions and interactions on specific information infrastructure topics. Information infrastructure brings together information processing applications, communications networks and services, physical and software elements in networks, and end systems. The program of GIIS 2009 will include invited talks, paper presentations, workshops, tutorials, panel and discussion sessions. The technical issues addressed by the conference include Interoperability at various levels, standard services and user interfaces, world wide naming and addressing, and the international mobility of persons and services. The policy issues addressed by the conference are those with a large technical element, including protection of intellectual property, privacy and security, international use of encryption technology, commercial protocols, and standards vs. proprietary technologies. The conference is specifically interested in ubiquity, open source/equal access, ease of use, cost effectiveness, standards, and architectural openness.
The program of GIIS 2009 will include a Technology Track and a Policy Track. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following aspects:
