NBiS 2009 - NBiS2009 The 12th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems

NBiS2009 The 12th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems

will be held at Indianapolis, USA, on Aug. 19 (Wed.) to 21 (Fri.), 2009

=============== SCOPE ===============

In the past decade, our network infrastructure has undergone radical changes.
It has evolved from a small number of interconnected computer networks to a
global socio-technical infrastructure, where people communicate and interact
spontaneously in cyber space and with the cyber physical world, create content
and share knowledge over a network of heterogeneous networks.
In the future, global society will increasingly rely on socio-technical networks
designed in harmony with societal values and economic viability, with enhanced
security, privacy, resilience, availability and manageability, and the ability to
incorporate as yet unforeseen technologies, applications and services.
Future networks should be available anytime and anywhere, be accessible from any
communication device, require little or no management overhead, be resilient to
failures and malicious attacks, and be trustworthy for all types of communication.
They must be able to evolve over time to incorporate new technologies, support
new classes of applications, and meet new requirements and challenges. They also
need to accommodate growth and unforeseen changes across many dimensions,
including traffic load, network size and topology, physical link characteristics,
different types of applications, and heterogeneity, without significant
performance degradation. The conference scope ranges from home networks with
numerous "smart" appliances to enterprise networks, core networks, and
application-level networks.
The main objective of NBiS is to bring together researchers from both network
systems and information systems with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas
and experience between these two communities. It will represent an international
forum to give an overview of the most recent trends.

limited to the following topics.
