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 20th IEEE Global Internet Symposium will be collocated with IEEE Infocom 2017. 

The IEEE Global Internet Symposium aims to provide a top forum for researchers and practitioners to present advances in Internet related technologies, and also allow healthy debate about various approaches. For instance, how does a novel solution compare, in terms of tangible metrics such as storage, latency, bandwidth, manageability, resilience, and usability, with existing and other approaches? So in addition to traditional research papers, and deployment description papers, we encourage position papers, papers that compare proposed approaches, papers that clarify and compare inherent differences between competing technologies, and well-thought-through heresy.
