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:
- Key Note Speaker: Randy
Katz, "Quality of Service versus
Any Service at All", University of California, Berkeley, USA
- Key Note Speaker: Michael
Stal, "Beyond Middleware and
QoS - Service-Oriented Architectures - Cult or Culture?", Siemens
Munich, Germany
- A Panel on “Would self-organized or
self-managed networks lead to improved QoS?” by David Hutchison,
Lancaster Univ., U.K.
- Short paper sessions:
- A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research
- Industrial Exhibition and
Demonstration of Tools and Methods related to Quality of Communication
by Jan de Meer, Institute for High-performance Microelectronics GmbH,
Frankfurt (Oder), Germany
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.

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.
