> 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.
