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.

The program of GIIS 2009 will include a Technology Track and a Policy Track.

Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following aspects:
