The Global Internet (GI) Symposium is the flagship event established and organized by the Internet Technical Committee (ITC), a joint committee of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and the Internet Society (ISOC).

The 19th IEEE Global Internet Symposium will be collocated with IEEE Infocom 2016. All relevant dates, location, and travel information are available from the IEEE Infocom 2016 conference site: http://infocom2016.ieee-infocom.org/

The IEEE Global Internet Symposium aims to provide a top forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss advances in Internet related technologies. The focus of the symposium is on experimental systems and emerging future Internet technologies, and especially on scaling such systems to a global scale. Research on understanding Internet protocols, services, and applications at global scale is also encouraged. The Program Committee also welcomes position papers (which should be clearly marked as such).


The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

Routing, switching, and addressing

Resource management and quality of service

Software defined networks and network programming

Content delivery and management

Energy awareness

Next generation network architectures

Distributed Internet applications including games, VoIP, and video conferencing

Online social networking

Peer To Peer networks

Novel applications and new paradigms

Internet measurement, modeling, and visualization

Large scale network operation and performance monitoring

Privacy and/or security issues on the Internet

Anomaly, intrusion and attack detection

Interface among networking, communications and information theory

Applications of network science in communication networks

Economic aspects of the Internet
