SCOPE AND OVERVIEW:
The 2013 Global Information Infrastructure and Networking Symposium
(GIIS 2013) follows the success of GIIS 2007, GIIS 2009, GIIS 2011 and
GIIS 2012. 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 and
networks. GIIS aims at identifying and promoting the exchange of
knowledge on these interrelated issues and provides liaison to bodies
in the global society, technical fora and international standards.
GIIS 2013 will stimulate interdisciplinary conference sessions to
discuss, build and further the use of national and international
information infrastructures and networks. 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 and networking topics. Information
Infrastructure and Networking (IIN) brings together information
processing applications, communications networks and services,
physical and software elements in networks, and end systems. The
program of GIIS 2013 will include invited talks and keynotes, paper
presentations, tutorials, panel, and discussion sessions.
To achieve this, GIIS 2013 program will be split into the following
three conference regular tracks and two conference special tracks:
