Scope and Overview:

Global Information Infrastructure Symposium (GIIS 2012) follows the 
success of GIIS 2007  (http://www.giis2011.org/GIIS2007), GIIS 2009 
(http://www.giis2011.org/GIIS2009) and GIIS 2011 (http://www.giis2011.org).

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.

GIIS 2012 will stimulate interdisciplinary conference sessions 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 2012 will include invited talks, paper 
presentations, 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.

Humanitarian and Policy  Track. Topics of interest include but are not
