Scope and Overview:

Global Information Infrastructure Symposium (GIIS 2011) follows the success
of GIIS 2007
(http://www.ieee-giis.org/GIIS2007) and GIIS 2009 (
http://www.ieee-giis.org/GIIS2009).
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 fora and
international standards.
IEEE GIIS 2011 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 IEEE GIIS 2011 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 humaniarian and 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 Humanitarian
and Policy
Track. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the
