Call for Papers Fifth International Workshop on Quality of future Internet Services (QofIS'04) "Quality of Service in the Emerging Networking Panorama" September 29 - October 1, 2004 Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain QofIS'04 information will be available soon at http://www.qofis.org Scope ----- The purpose of QofIS 2004 is to present and discuss design and implementation techniques for providing quality of service in the Internet. The impact of emerging terminals, mobility and embedded systems will create a new environment where networks will be ambient. New challenges are open by this new space where networks of interest ranging from personal networks to large-scale application networks will need to be designed and often integrated. Protocol mechanisms for supporting quality of service at the different layers of the networks will need to be assessed and eventually redesigned in such environments. The focus of this year's workshop is on the provisioning of Quality of Service in the Emerging Networking Panorama, assessed by results of experiments carried out in simulation platforms and test-beds, and given the progressive irruption of optical technologies. This workshop, at its fifth international event, is organized under the umbrella of the E-NEXT Network of Excellence on "Emerging Networking Experiments and Technologies", which will start early in 2004. Along with presentations of papers and keynote speeches, QofIS 2004 will offer two one day workshops on October 1, namely the Fourth International Workshop on Internet Charging and QoS Technology (ICQT'04) and the First International Workshop on QoS Routing (WQoSR'04) Authors are invited to submit work on issues related to, but not limited by, the following list of topics: - Traffic modeling and classification - QoS requirements, mapping and negotiation - Policing, scheduling and metering - Signaling, session management - Traffic engineering, service dimensioning - End-system QoS support - Policy-based QoS management - QoS in wireless networks - Technologies for self-aware networking - QoS in sensor networks - QoS in Metropolitan Optical Networks - QoS in Optical Packet Switching Networks - QoS in peer-to-peer networks - Active networking for QoS Papers and Submissions ---------------------- Papers are solicited in full length of no more than 10 single-spaced pages (in English).

Fifth International Workshop on Quality of future Internet Services (QofIS'04)

	"Quality of Service in the Emerging Networking Panorama"

September 29 - October 1, 2004
Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain
QofIS'04 information will be available soon at http://www.qofis.org 

Scope 
-----
The purpose of QofIS 2004 is to present and discuss design and
implementation techniques for providing quality of service in the Internet.
The impact of emerging terminals, mobility and embedded systems will create
a new environment where networks will be ambient. New challenges are open by
this new space where networks of interest ranging from personal networks to
large-scale application networks will need to be designed and often
integrated. Protocol mechanisms for supporting quality of service at the
different layers of the networks will need to be assessed and eventually
redesigned in such environments. The focus of this year's workshop is on the
provisioning of Quality of Service in the Emerging Networking Panorama,
assessed by results of experiments carried out in simulation platforms and
test-beds, and given the progressive irruption of optical technologies.

This workshop, at its fifth international event, is organized under the
umbrella of the E-NEXT Network of Excellence on "Emerging Networking
Experiments and Technologies", which will start early in 2004.

Along with presentations of papers and keynote speeches, QofIS 2004 will
offer two one day workshops on October 1, namely the Fourth International
Workshop on Internet Charging and QoS Technology (ICQT'04) and the First
International Workshop on QoS Routing (WQoSR'04)

Authors are invited to submit work on issues related to, but not limited by,
the following list of topics:
	- Traffic modeling and classification	
	- QoS requirements, mapping and negotiation
	- Policing, scheduling and metering
