INTRODUCTION

The Global Information Infrastructure and Networking Symposium (GIIS)
consists of an interrelated set of technical, policy, and social issues
implicit in the development of national and international (global)
information infrastructures and networks. 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 2014 follows the success of the precedent
editions and intends to promote interdisciplinary conference sessions to
discuss, build and further the use of national and international
information infrastructures and networks. 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 and networking topics. Information Infrastructure and
Networking (IIN) brings together information processing applications,
communications networks and services, physical and software elements in
networks, and end systems. The program of GIIS 2014 will include invited
talks and keynotes, paper presentations, tutorials, panel, and discussion
sessions.
