CALL FOR PAPERS

                        IEEE Communications Magazine

                              Feature Topic on

                    IP-Oriented Quality of Service (QoS)

   The "best effort" Internet delivery cannot be used for the new
   multimedia applications. New technologies and new standards are
   necessary to offer Quality of Service (QoS) for these multimedia
   applications. Therefore new communication architectures integrate
   mechanisms allowing to guarantee QoS services as well as high rate for
   the communications. This Feature Topic of IEEE Communications Magazine
   seeks to survey and present the research and engineering work in QoS
   field. The focused tutorial and survey contributions are solicited on
   (but not restricted to) the following subject categories:
     * QoS in heterogeneous networks
     * QoS for wireless and mobile
     * QoS in WAN
     * QoS routing
     * Experiences with QoS
     * Simulation models for QoS
     * QoS and metrics
     * Charging and pricing for QoS
     * Platform support for QoS
     * Standardization and QoS

    Submission

   Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
   comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
   Articles may be edited for clarity and grammatical accuracy, and will
   be copyedited according to the Magazine's style. Mathematical
   equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple
   equations could be allowed, provided the consent of the Guest Editor;
   more than three equations require permission from the
   Editor-in-Chief). Articles should have no more than 4,500 words, no
   more than 6 tables+figures, and no more than 15 references. Guidelines
   for prospective authors can be found on-line at
   http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF
   (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to one of
   the guest editors no later than July 1, 2002. Accepted papers will
   also be included in Communications Interactive (CI), the online
   version of Communications Magazine.
