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 University, UK
- 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 the short paper sessions will be highly interactive and
leave much time and space for the audience to get involved. The
position
and short papers 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.
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 business 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.
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. The paper submission can be done at:

Short 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.
