The 14th International Conference on Network-Based Information  Systems (NBiS) will be held at Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania  from September 7 to 9, 2011.
 The event is held in conjunction with the EIDWT-2011: The 2-nd  International Conference on Emerging Intelligent Data and Web  Technologies.
The International Conference on Network-Based  Information Systems (NBiS) started as an International workshop in 1998,  which was held in Vienna, Austria in conjunction with DEXA  International Conference. 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.
 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.
