Welcome to IWQoS 2005                 

Co-sponsored by IFIP WG 6.1, German Chapter of the ACM,

Overview

IWQoS has emerged as the prime annual event on Quality-of-Service (QoS)-related research and technologies. Building on the successes of previous workshops, the objective 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. IWQoS has a long standing tradition of being highly interactive while maintaining highest standards of competitiveness and excellence. This characteristic will be re-emphasized by intercepting the regular paper sessions with stimulating discussion events about controversial and cutting edge topics.The program will include the following highlights:

The panel and lobby exhibition sessions will be highly interactive and leave much time and space to the audience to  meet minds of practitioners and researchers.

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

  • Workshop reception and welcome party: June 20th, 2005

Technical Program

Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of domains. Our goal is to broaden the areas that QoS research can be pulled from by recognizing the multi-disciplinary aspect to much of the research. In addition to the traditional areas, the call for papers does 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
IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference as the publishers allow. The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. It values both theoretical contributions and practical experience.

Best Student Paper Award

Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student.

Full Paper Submission

IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers that are no longer than 20 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. All papers must be submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2005.

Short Paper Submission - Position Papers for Industry Session and Works in Progress

We solicit submissions of short papers for the two sessions outlined above. The short papers are limited to three single-spaced pages. Accepted papers will be presented in a 15-minute time period, and will be included in the conference proceedings.
