*************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************************* The 16-th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (NBiS-2013) http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/conf/nbis/2013/ Gwangju, Korea September 4 to September 6, 2013 ================= Important Dates ================= Submission Deadline: 10 April, 2013 (Extended) Authors Notification: 1 May, 2013 Author Registration: 31 May, 2013 Final Manuscript: 31 May, June 2013 Conference Dates: 4-6 September, 2013 ======= 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-2008 in Turin, Italy; NBiS-2007 in Regensburg, Germany; NBIS-2009 in Indianapolis, USA; NBiS-2010 in Takayama, Japan; NBiS-2011 in Tirana, Albania; and NBiS-2012 in Melbourne, Australia. This year NBiS-2013 will be held in Gwangju, Korea. 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 conference scope ranges from home networks with numerous "smart" appliances to enterprise networks, core networks, and application-level networks. The NBiS-2013 seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics. ===================== Topics of Interests ===================== 1.
