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.
