The full program consisting of 27 regular papers is available at
http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/program.html
Quality of Service continues to be an active research field,
especially in the networking community. IWQoS is a successful series
of workshops that aims to provide a forum for the presentation and
discussion of new research and ideas on QoS. Traditionally, IWQoS
workshops are cross-disciplinary and well focused, with the emphasis
on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted
to informal discussion.
In addition to the traditional QoS topics such as service guarantees
and admission control, this year we aimed to expand the scope of the
workshop by encouraging submissions offering research contributions
related to robustness, resilience, security, and predictability in
networking and distributed systems. As a result, the program included
two sessions on availability, fault tolerance, and dependability. The
other sessions covered routing, resource allocation, storage, Web
services, incentives, and rate based QoS.
Dear TC6 members,
I feel that we need to progress on the way that we produce the documents for
our meetings. I will proceed in the usual way of preparing and carrying the
meeting documents for the two meetings of 2003, but probably we could take
the opportunity of having a new chair in 2004 and start producing and
distributing documents in a fully electronic way.
May be we can think about dealing only with electronic documents and the
chair would put them in the TC6 server one week before the meeting. Then all
delegates can upload them and bring them to the meeting in their PCs. On
this way we would have a full electronic process.
In the meantime, I send you by e-mail some documents that will be part of
the meeting documents. You do not need to carry them but you might be
interested in reading them before the meeting. Let me tell you that there
are many more, and interesting, documents in the meeting minutes. I still
have a lot of documents in paper form.
I will split the documents in different mails. In this mail you will get the
WG reports (may I ask Ioannis to distribute the WG 6.3 report to the list,
because, by some reason, I have only got the paper version. My fault!)
Enjoy the reading
Best regards
Augusto
Dear all,
The third set of documents includes:
TC6 delegates
TC6 meeting attendance
Proposal from Andre for a website framework
Proposals for the publisher bid
Proposal from Ramon for agreement with ACM

Call for Papers
---------------
The Third Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium -
LANOMS, to be held in Iguassu Falls (Foz do Iguaçu), Brazil, is the
result of the great success of both LANOMS'1999 which was held in Rio
de Janeiro and LANOMS'2001 which was held in Belo Horizonte, as well
as the other events in the area of network management known as NOMS
and APNOMS. NOMS (Network Operations and Management Symposium) was
originally created 13 years ago, and nowadays constitutes a worldwide
event for the researches in the area of network management. The
Asia/Pacific community promoted the APNOMS (Asia-Pacific Network
Operations and Management Symposium), which is an event more oriented
to the research and development community in that region. Continuing
the success of the second LANOMS, we will promote the third edition of
LANOMS (http://www.inf.ufpr.br/lanoms) on September 4-6 2003,

September 29th - October 2nd, 2003
Berlin, Germany
http://www.forte2003.de.vu
========================================================================
Scope and Objectives
FORTE denotes a series of international working conferences on formal
description techniques (FDTs) applied to computer networks and
distributed systems. The conference series started in 1981 under the
name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both
series were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. Two years ago the conference
changed the name to its current form. FORTE provides a forum for
researchers and users to review, discuss, and learn about new
approaches, concepts,and experiences in the field of formal description
techniques and their application.
The 23rd FORTE conference will be held in Berlin. It is organized by the
Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus (BTU Cottbus) and the
Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin). FORTE 2003 is especially
dedicated to the application of formal description techniques to
practice, especially in the Internet domain. The conference will consist
of tutorial sessions on the first day, followed by presentations of
reviewed and invited papers, tool demonstrations, and panel and working
sessions.
Topics of interest
FORTE'03 will provide a forum for researchers and users to review,
discuss, and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the
application of formal methods such as finite state machines, process
algebras, Petri nets and logics and formal description techniques
including SDL, UML, LOTOS, MSC, ASN.1, and others. Topics of interest
include, but are not restricted to
- Use of formal methods: FDT based design of communication protocols and
distributed systems especially for Internet applications, Formal
verification, Performance modeling and analysis, Automatically
derived implementations, Test of distributed systems and
communication protocols including interoperability tests,
performance tests, robustness tests, and test generation procedures,
Tool support
- Theoretical aspects of formal methods: New approaches and theories,
Extensions of FDTs, Semantic foundations, Real-time and probability
aspects
- Practical experience with formal methods: Reports and case studies of
the deployment of formal methods and FDTs to the development and
validation of distributed systems and communication protocols, in
particular in Internet and communication domains.
We strongly encourage the submission of papers with practical
applications especially in the areas of multimedia applications,
wireless and mobile communication protocols, client/server applications,
secure systems/environments, e-business and mobile commerce,
and other Internet applications.
