From 1998, NBiS had been held successfully every year and high quality papers are presented. After the 9-th NBiS, which was held at Krakow, Poland in 2006, NBiS was promoted to an International Conference and the 10-th NBiS was held in Regensburg, Germany in 2007 as International Conference.
NBiS is becoming a very important event for network research community and is improved every year in quality and quantity. The NBiS International Conference is going around the world in all continents. NBIS-2009 was held in Indianapolis, USA and NBiS -2010 was held in Takayama, Japan. The 14-th NBiS will be held at Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania from September 7 to 9, 2011. Tirana is a the capital city of Albania. For more information please see the following URL: http://www.albanian.com/main/countries/albania/tirana/index.html. 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 infrastructure has 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 cyber space 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. Future networks should be available anytime and anywhere, be accessible from any communication device, require little or no management overhead, be resilient to failures and malicious attacks, and be trustworthy for all types of communication. They must be able to evolve over time to incorporate new technologies, support new classes of applications, and meet new requirements and challenges. They also need to accommodate growth and unforeseen changes across many dimensions, including traffic load, network size and topology, physical link characteristics, different types of applications, and heterogeneity, without significant performance degradation. The conference scope ranges from home networks with numerous "smart" appliances to enterprise networks, core networks, and application-level networks. The NBiS-2011 seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics. =================== TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== 1.

In particular, EIDWT-2011 will discuss advances about utilizing and exploiting data generated from emerging data technologies such as Data Centers, Data Grids, Clouds, Crowds, Mashups, Social Networks and/or other Web 2.0 implementations towards a collaborative and collective intelligence approach leading to advancements of virtual organizations and their user communities. This is because, current and future Web and Web 2.0 implementations will store and continuously produce a vast amount of data, which if combined and analyzed through a collective intelligence manner will make a difference in the organizational settings and their user communities. Thus, the scope of EIDWT-2011 is to discuss methods and practices (including P2P) which bring various emerging data technologies together to capture, integrate, analyze, mine, annotate and visualize data - made available from various community users - in a meaningful and collaborative for the organization manner. Finally, EIDWT-2011 aims to provide a forum for original discussion and prompt future directions in the area. Topics: Papers should be focused on past, current and emerging methods and/or use of data technologies with a particular focus to collective intelligence. For example: Data Stream, Click stream, Cloud Computing, Crowd Computing, Data Annotation, Data Architecture, Data Capture, Data Clustering/Partitioning, Data Discovery/Management, Data Grids, Data Integration, Data Management and Knowledge Engineering, Data Mashups, Data Query Systems and Languages, Data Push/Notification, Data Scheduling, Data/Text Mining, P2P, Reality Mining, Data Visualization, Emerging Applications, Emerging/Enabling Collaborative Data Technologies, Trust and Security, Web Science, Web 2.0, Ubiquitus Intelligence. The main topic areas include, but are not limited to: o Critical Reviews on Theory and Practices in Collective Intelligence o User Communities/Virtual Organizational Structures and Dynamics o Ad-Hoc Social Networking Analysis, Business Intelligence o Self-organising Systems and Networks o Self-adaptive Ant Colony, Swarm and Evolutionary Agents o Data/Text Mining, Reality Mining, Data Clustering, Graph Partitioning o Groupware, Social Networks (Web 2.0) o Ontology Management, Semantic Web, Web Services, Multi-Agents o Meta-Data, Annotation, Intra-/Inter Tagging, Inference Engines, Reasoning o Architectures, Discovery, Retrieval, Scheduling, Allocation, Monitoring o Enabling Technologies (Grids, P2P, Cloud, Crowds, Mashups, etc) o Data Management, Data Growth, Storage, Implications o Web and Ubiquitus Intelligence, Reality Mining o Security, Trust and Reputation, Identity Management and Privacy o Languages, Components, Programs, Knowledge Portals and/or Applications o Developments or future concepts and frameworks in various settings including (but not limited to) construction industry, transportation and other control systems, sensors, smart spaces, disaster management and threat detection, bioinformatics, environmental control, energy consumption control, business, economics, supply-chain management, planning and operations, etc. ========================== PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== Submit a full paper not more than eight pages (Proceedings Manuscript: two column, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page.
