                            WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
                                      
     IP is clearly emerging as the networking paradigm for the
     integration of the traffic flows generated by a variety of new
     applications (IP telephony, video on demand, multimedia
     multicasting, e-commerce, ...), whose performance requirements may
     be extremely different. This situation has generated a great
     interest in the development of techniques for the provision of
     quality of service guarantees in IP networks. Two proposals have
     already emerged from the IETF groups IntServ and DiffServ, but
     research and experiments are continuing, in order to identify the
     most effective architectures and protocols.
     
     The Italian Ministry for University and Scientific Research is
     funding a research programme, named MQOS, on these topics in the
     years 1999 and 2000. MQOS is organizing this International
     Workshop, aiming at the presentation high-quality recent research
     results on QoS in IP networks, and at the dissemination of the most
     relevant research results obtained within the programme.
     
     The proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the Springer
     Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and distributed to all
     Workshop participants.
     
                              CALL FOR PAPERS
                                      
     Contributions are invited on all topics concerning the provision of
