</font>INTRODUCTION<br>
<font color="#0f61c8"><br>
</font>The Global Information Infrastructure and Networking
Symposium (GIIS)<br>
consists of an interrelated set of technical, policy, and social
issues<br>
implicit in the development of national and international (global)<br>
information infrastructures and networks. GIIS aims at identifying
and<br>
promoting the exchange of knowledge on these interrelated issues
and<br>
provides liaison to bodies in the global society, technical fora
and<br>
international standards. GIIS 2014 follows the success of the
precedent<br>
editions and intends to promote interdisciplinary conference
sessions to<br>
discuss, build and further the use of national and international<br>
information infrastructures and networks. The conference also aims
at<br>
providing a forum for the participants to broaden professional
contacts<br>
and for technical discussions and interactions on specific
information<br>
infrastructure and networking topics. Information Infrastructure
and<br>
Networking (IIN) brings together information processing
applications,<br>
communications networks and services, physical and software
elements in<br>
networks, and end systems. The program of GIIS 2014 will include
invited<br>
talks and keynotes, paper presentations, tutorials, panel, and
discussion<br>
sessions.<br>
