Scope
=======
NBiS is becoming a very important event for the network research community and is improved
every year in both quality and quantity. The NBiS International Conference moves around the world
in all continents: NBiS-2007 in Regensburg, Germany; NBiS-2008 in Turin, Italy;
NBIS-2009 in Indianapolis, USA; NBiS-2010 in Takayama, Japan; NBiS-2011 in Tirana, Albania;
NBiS-2012 in Melbourne, Australia; and NBiS-2013 in Gwangju, Korea. This year NBiS-2014 will
be held in Salerno, Italy.

The main objective of NBiS is to bring together researchers from both network systems and
information systems with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience between
these two communities. It will represent an international forum to give an overview of the most
recent trends. In the past decade, our network infrastructures have undergone radical changes.
It has evolved from a small number of interconnected computer networks to a global socio-technical
infrastructure, where people communicate and interact spontaneously in cyberspace and with
the cyber physical world, create content and share knowledge over a network of heterogeneous
networks. In the future, global society will increasingly rely on socio-technical networks
designed in harmony with societal values and economic viability, with enhanced security,
privacy, resilience, availability and manageability, and the ability to incorporate
as yet unforeseen technologies, applications and services.

The NBiS-2014 seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to
the following topics.
