                 Call for Papers
                 
                 IEEE GIIS 2007
    
     Global Information Infrastructure Symposium
           “Closing theDigital Divide”
      
        2-5 July, 2007; Marrakech,Morocco
           
           http://www.giis2007.org/

      Sponsored by the IEEE CommunicationsSociety,
          

Information infrastructure brings together information processingapplications, communications networks and services, physical and softwareelements in networks, and end systems. The scope of GIIS covers theinterrelated technical, policy, and social issues implicit in thedevelopment of national and international information infrastructures.GIIS aims at identifying and promoting the exchange of knowledge on theseinterrelated issues and to stimulate interdisciplinary symposium sessionsand workshops to discuss, built and further the use of local, regionaland global information infrastructures, with a particular focus onunderserved areas.

GIIS will provide a forum for the participants to broaden professionalcontacts and for technical discussions on information infrastructureissues.
The symposium also aims at establishing liaisons to bodies in the globalsociety, technical forums and international standards.

The technical issues addressed by the symposium include alternativetechnologies for building the information infrastructure, broadbandaccess, convergence, interoperability at various levels, standardservices and user interfaces, world wide naming and addressing, and theinternational mobility of persons and services. The policy issuesaddressed by the symposium are those with a large technical element,including protection of intellectual property, privacy and security, opensource software, international use of encryption technology, commercialprotocols, and standards vs. proprietary technologies. The symposium isspecifically interested in shareability, ubiquity, equal access, ease ofuse, cost effectiveness, standards, and architectural openness.

The technical program of GIIS 2007 will include keynote talks, tutorials,refereed paper presentations, workshops and multi-disciplinary paneldiscussions.
