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.

Track.
