                              Call for Papers
                  Third COST 263 International Workshop on
               Quality of future Internet Services (QofIS'02)
                            co-located with the
                     Second International Workshop on
               Internet Charging and QoS Technology (ICQT'02)

                  "From QoS Provisioning to QoS Charging"

                            October 16-18, 2002
    Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zürich, TIK, Switzerland
                 URL: http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~qofis02

Scope

Key issues for competitive communication systems include the 
design,implementation, and provisioning of Quality-of-Service (QoS). 
These tasks require for tomorrows Internet an emerging research and 
new methods, which combine technical and economic parameters related 
to networks, services, and applications. The QofIS'02 workshop is the 
third international event organised by the COST 263 Action "Quality 
of future Internet Services" and the ICQT'02 workshop is the second 
joint meeting of network specialists and economists. Therefore, these 
two colocated workshops determine a highly qualified forum for the 
presentation and discussion of relevant approaches to Internet QoS 
and their economics, bringing together researchers, developers, and 
practitioners sides of academia and industry.
While the emphasis of QofIS'02 is on technology for an end-to-end and 
top-down provisioning of QoS, covering the Internet and the 
end-system, ICQT'02 focusses on the economics of QoS and the required 
technology in support of charging. Both workshops target the 
identification of solutions, investigations of their feasibility, and 
a consolidation of technical and economic mechanisms to enable a 
fast, guaranteed, and efficient provisioning of QoS-based services in 
the Internet.
