CALL FOR PAPERS 

Special Session on Interworking of Diffserv, RSVP and 
MPLS for achieving QoS in the Internet 

Twelfth IASTED International Conference on 
Parallel and Distributed Computing and Systems (PDCS 2000) 
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA 
November 6-9, 2000 

http://www.iasted.com/conferences/2000/lasvegas/pdcscfp.htm 

(Submission Deadline: August 14, 2000) 

Scope: 

The traffic on the Internet is increasingly changing from
best-effort to time-sensitive however the Internet is not
ready yet for supporting this changing traffic. IETF
(Internet Engineering Task Force) is developing new
protocols and techniques for supporting QoS (Quality of
Service) in private networks as well as the global
Internet. Among the new protocols, RSVP provides
quantitative guarantees to each flow whereas Diffserv
provides qualitative assurances by using PHB (per hop
behavior) for packets marked with DSCP (DS codepoints).
MPLS has been developed to accelerate routing of traffic
aggregates destined towards a common point by using LSP
(Label Switched Paths) so that the intermediate routers do
not have to make a routing decision. MPLS also leverages
the cost of ATM switches by mapping LSP's to VPI/VCI for IP
over ATM.

A special session on Interworking of these protocols will
be organized at the PDCS 2000 conference. This session will
serve as a forum to present the latest research and
simulation results of works by international researchers,
developers, and users.  Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:

Integrated operation of Intserv and Diffserv for  edge-to-edge QoS flows 
Aggregation of flows for scaling of RSVP 
VoIP performance over Diffserv networks 
Traffic Engineering Architecture for the Internet 
Jitter characteristics in a Diffserv domain 
Scheduling at nodes in a Diffserv domain 
Mapping ATM CoS to Diffserv 
Voice over MPLS 
Performance of RSVP-MPLS architecture 
FR/MPLS Network and service interworking 
Inter-provider MPLS signaling and LSP routing 
COPS Policy Server/Bandwidth Broker implementation issues 

Paper Submission 

Submission should include authors names, affiliations,
addresses and email addresses, on the cover page.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register and present the paper. Please submit
full paper, not exceeding 10 pages in length (single-space)
in PS or PDF format for consideration, to session organizer
at zubairi@cs.fredonia.edu by August 14, 2000 via email. 
Include up to 5 keywords and an abstract of no more than
250 words.  On a separate sheet, include paper's title,
author(s) names and affiliation, postal address, email,
fax, and phone numbers. Indicate address for
correspondence.

Proceedings 

All papers selected for this session by peer-review process
will be published in the PDCS'2000 conference proceedings
through IASTED Press, USA.
