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.
