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

Submission deadline: February 14, 2003
Workshop theme

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. 


Call for Papers
IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts which present original material and
should not have been previously published nor should they currently be under
review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous
publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the
submission. Submissions must be less than 20 double-spaced pages long,
including all figures and citations, and must include an abstract of 100 -
150 words.  The maximum length of final papers in the proceedings will be 10
pages for long technical papers.

Important dates:
Paper deadline: February 14, 2002
Notification: March 24, 2003
Final papers due: April, 2003
