Scope and Overview:

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