    Eleventh International Workshop
on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2003)
Monterey, CA, June 2-4, 2003
Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and IFIP WG6.1 in cooperation
with ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMOBILE
Co-located with
NOSSDAV
Invited talks: Rene Cruz (UCSD), Abhay Parekh (ICSI, Berkeley),
Lixia Zhang (UCLA)
Panel:
"QoS in Demand: Who Needs it Anyway?"; Chair: Klara Nahrstedt (Panelists: Andrew Campbell (Columbia U.),
Dave Hartzell (NASA Ames),
Jerry Rolia (HP Labs),
Ralf
Steinmetz (Darmstadt University),
Harick Vin (UT Austin))
IWQoS is a successful series of
workshops providing an international forum for the
presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on
quality of service (QoS). The goal of the workshop is to bring
together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in
this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and
identify future directions and challenges, in developing
practical systems where predictable and controlled performance
is a central requirement.
Papers are solicited on all aspects of architecture,
algorithm, and protocol design for systems in which QoS
requirements are important. In addition to traditional IWQoS
topics such as service guarantees and admission control,
papers offering research contributions related to robustness,
resilience, security, and predictability in networking and
distributed systems are particularly solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Scalable QoS architectures
- Analytical and simulation models
for QoS
- QoS control for middleware
- Programmability and language
aspects
- QoS issues in overlay and
peer-to-peer networks
- QoS issues in ad-hoc networks
- Robust and resilient systems
- Content delivery networks with
service guarantees
- Service assurances in wireless and
mobile environments
- QoS support for information
appliances
- Modeling user and application QoS
requirements
- Charging, accounting, and pricing
for QoS
- Experiences with QoS
(measurements, tests, evaluations)
IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to
provide fast turnarond. The deadline for papers is therefore as close
to the conference as the publishers allow. In the past the workshop
has been cross-disciplinary, well focused, with the emphasis on
innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted to
informal discussion.
The programs of the previous workshops is available online. IWQOS 2003 will be held in Monterey, CA, on June 2-4,
2003.
