While the access to the Internet has become a commodity, Internet Service Providers (ISP) need to be able to differentiate their service offerings for a competitive market situation, based on Internet Quality-of-Service (QoS) technology as well as value-added Internet services. To enable market managed networking, appropriate technology must be in place, both on end-user and provider side, and suitable management mechanisms as well as policies must be available transparently. In addition, the integrated handling of efficient security means for charging systems is able to promote user acceptance for resulting technology solutions. This workshop intends to provide a platform for the presentation and discussion of highly significant approaches and ideas on charging Internet services and their economic effects on an open Internet services market. Its main focus is directed towards modelling, implementation, and experiences of Internet charging technology. With this respect, it covers Internet services and QoS suppport, application pricing and tariffing, accounting and billing tasks, Service Level Agreements (SLA) and their management, and business models for ISPs and Application Service Providers (ASP) as well as the future of bandwidth exchange schemes in the Internet backbone. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following ones: - Internet Charging Technology - Internet Pricing and Tariffing - Internet Accounting and Billing Tasks - Internet Service Level Agreements and their Management - Economy-based Policy Management Mechanisms - Security Mechanisms for Charging Systems - Internet Service Characterizations - Light-weight Transaction Support - QoS Support Mechanisms for the Internet - QoS Models for Mobile IP - ISP Business Models - Internet Bandwidth Exchange Models - Application Service Provider Models Papers and Submissions Papers are solicited as full papers (in German or English), ranging from 6 to 8 pages single-spaced, each of which will be subject to a full review process.

         Advanced Internet Charging and QoS Technology (ICQT'01)
                     Workshop of "Informatik 2001"
                    URL: http://www.ftw.at/~icqt01

              Part of the GI and OCG General Annual Meeting
                  Vienna, Austria, September 26-28, 2001

Within  the  emerging  area  of  Network  Economy,  an  explicit  view
on  the   integration  of  technological  and   economic  aspects  for
Internet  services provisioning  is essential  for achieving  a better
understanding  of  today's  dramatic  changes  and  close-ups  between
Internet technology and economics in the field of networking.

While  the access  to the  Internet has  become a  commodity, Internet
Service  Providers  (ISP)  need  to be  able  to  differentiate  their
service  offerings  for  a  competitive  market  situation,  based  on
Internet Quality-of-Service  (QoS) technology  as well  as value-added
Internet services.  To enable  market managed  networking, appropriate
technology must be  in place, both on end-user and  provider side, and
suitable management mechanisms  as well as policies  must be available
transparently.  In  addition,  the integrated  handling  of  efficient
security means for charging systems is able to promote user acceptance
for resulting technology solutions.

This workshop intends  to provide a platform for  the presentation and
discussion  of highly  significant  approaches and  ideas on  charging
Internet  services and  their  economic effects  on  an open  Internet
services  market.  Its  main  focus  is  directed  towards  modelling,
implementation,  and  experiences  of  Internet  charging  technology.
With  this respect,  it  covers Internet  services  and QoS  suppport,
application  pricing  and  tariffing, accounting  and  billing  tasks,
Service  Level Agreements  (SLA)  and their  management, and  business
models for ISPs and Application Service Providers (ASP) as well as the
future of bandwidth exchange schemes in the Internet backbone.

Topics of interest for this workshop  include, but are not limited to,
the following ones:

- Internet Charging Technology
- Internet Pricing and Tariffing
- Internet Accounting and Billing Tasks
- Internet Service Level Agreements and their Management
- Economy-based Policy Management Mechanisms
- Security Mechanisms for Charging Systems
- Internet Service Characterizations
- Light-weight Transaction Support
- QoS Support Mechanisms for the Internet
- QoS Models for Mobile IP
- ISP Business Models
- Internet Bandwidth Exchange Models
- Application Service Provider Models

submission instructions or contact mailto:icqt01@ftw.at for additional
information.
