INTRODUCTION <br>
<br>
The Global Information Infrastructure and Networking
Symposium (GIIS) <br>
consists of an interrelated set of technical, policy, and
social <br>
issues implicit in the development of national and
international <br>
(global) information infrastructures and networks. GIIS
aims at <br>
identifying and promoting the exchange of knowledge
on these <br>
interrelated issues and provides liaison to bodies in the
global <br>
society, technical fora and international standards. GIIS 2014
follows <br>
the success of the precedent editions and intends to
promote <br>
interdisciplinary conference sessions to discuss, build and
further <br>
the use of national and international information
infrastructures and <br>
networks. The conference also aims at providing a forum
for the <br>
participants to broaden professional contacts and for
technical <br>
discussions and interactions on specific information
infrastructure <br>
and networking topics. Information Infrastructure and
Networking (IIN) <br>
brings together information processing applications,
communications <br>
networks and services, physical and software elements in
networks, and <br>
end systems. The program of GIIS 2014 will include invited
talks and <br>
keynotes, paper presentations, tutorials, panel, and
discussion <br>
sessions. <br>
<br>
SPECIAL TRACK ON CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURES AND NETWORKING <br>
<br>
GIIS 2014 will include this year a special track dedicated
to cloud <br>
infrastructures and networking in order to present and
publish the <br>
latest results in this area. In order to ensure complete
