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.

The program of GIIS 2012 will include a Technology Track, and a Humanitarian 
and Policy
Track. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following
