Call for Paper IWQoS 2005

*** Call for Paper ***
Thirteenth International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2005)
University of Pasau, Germany, on June 21-23, 2005

IWQoS has emerged as the prime annual event on Quality-of-Service=20
(QoS)-related research and technologies. Building on the successes of=20
previous workshops, the objective of the workshop is to bring together=20
researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to=20
discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future directions=20
and challenges. IWQoS has a long standing tradition of being highly=20
interactive while maintaining highest standards of competitiveness and=20
excellence. This characteristic will be re-emphasized by intercepting=20
the regular paper sessions with stimulating discussion events about=20
controversial and cutting edge topics. The program will include the=20
following highlights:

    * Key Note by Industrial Speaker
    * A Panel on =93Self-Organization and QoS=94 by David Hutchison,
      Lancaster Univ, U.K.
    * A Position Paper Session on =93The Impact of QoS: Where Industry
      meets Academia=94 by Francois Le Faucheur, Cicso Systems France and
      Georgios Karagiannis, Twente Univ., The Netherlands.
    * A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research
    * Key Note and Invited Paper by Randy Katz, UC Berkeley, U.S.A.
    * Industrial Exhibition and Demonstration of Tools and Methods
      related to Quality of Communication
      <http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/lehrstuehle/demeer/iwqos/cfexhib.html=
>
      by Jan de Meer, Institute for High-performance Microelectronics
      GmbH, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany

The panel and the short paper sessions will be highly interactive and=20
leave much time and space for the audience to get involved. The position=20
and short papers will go through the general reviewing process but the=20
papers must specifically be submitted to fit the track. Short versions=20
of regular technical papers will not be accepted here. It is rather=20
encouraged to submit work that is either stimulating with a long term=20
vision or that points to immediate relevance with need for controversial=20
debate to address the foremost experts at the venue.

Technical Program

Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of=20
domains. Our goal is to broaden the areas that QoS research can be=20
pulled from by recognizing the multi-disciplinary aspect to much of the=20
research. In addition to the traditional areas, the call for papers does=20
solicit, but is not limited to, papers in such areas as:

    * QoS in mobile/wireless environments, Sensor networks, 4G (IP for 3G=
)
    * QoS in overlays and peer-to-peer networks
    * QoS in GRID environments
    * SLA: end-to-end QoS, QoS in large scale, heterogeneous environments
    * QoS-aware software components: QoS for Web Services
    * QoS and self-organizing systems
    * New frontiers of QoS
    * QoS measurement versus control
    * QoS adaptation versus resource reservation
    * Hidden QoS issues, have we just learned to ignore QoS problems?
    * QoS in context aware systems (also related to mobility)
    * User perception/user interfaces for QoS
    * QoS and distributed systems
    * QoS and middleware
    * Fault tolerance and QoS
    * QoS in ad hoc networks
    * Economics and QoS
    * Security, trust and QoS
    * QoS in the home and everywhere
    * QoS and new media
    * QoS and haptics , virtual environments
    * QoS in buisiness processes, workflows
