Workshop on End-to-End Service Differentiation
(EESD 2004)
in conjunction with IPCCC 2004
Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004
http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04
Scope:
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a proposed architecture by
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in which various ap-
plications are supported using a simple classification scheme.
Packets entering the DiffServ domain are handled depending on the
packets' class. However, for many QoS-sensitive applications,
such as e-commerce and steaming media, QoS differentiation at the
network layer alone may be insufficient to guarantee the applica-
tion's QoS requirements. Such applications require end-to-end QoS
differentiation. End-to-end QoS guarantees require service dif-
ferentiation mechanisms throughout the protocol stack, as well as
in the middleware, the operating system and even in the applica-
tions.
We are interested in visionary, experimental, systems-related and
work in-progress papers in the area of QoS differentiation at the
network, middleware, operating system and application levels. Pa-
pers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original,
previously unpublished work, not currently under review by anoth-
er conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presen-
tation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings.
The workshop will also include invited papers.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Differentiated services architectures
- Application-level service differentiation
- Policybased QoS differentiation
- Packet classification and marking
- Packet scheduling algorithms and implementations
- Differentiated buffer management
- QoS across heterogeneous link technologies
- QoS for mobile application support
- Active network support for QoS differentiation
- Content-aware switches
- Multi-level admission control
- QoS-aware operating systems
- QoS differentiation for e-commerce and m-commerce
- QoS-aware web server architec tures
- Service differentiation via web caching
- Service differentiation via content distribution networks
- QoS support for storage networks
- QoS support for networked games
Submission:
Authors are encouraged to submit their papers electronically. The
documents must follow Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). To
do so, follow the relevant link on the workshop home page
http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04/submit.html
Papers are in the form of extended abstracts, 5-8 pages long. A
cover page must include a title, descriptive keywords, all au-
thor's names, complete mailing addresses, telephone numbers, e-
mail addresses and an abstract of up to 150 words. Papers accept-
ed for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference
proceedings. For any further information, please check the work-
shop web page at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/eesd04 or the IPCCC
main web page (http://ipccc.org/) or send e-mail to the program
